When a student chooses an incorrect answer for a multiple choice question, do you ask them why they made that choice? If so, what did that reveal to you about their thinking? If not, why would asking a student about their incorrect choice be helpful to you?

The Art of the Question #3

As I said with the DRP discussion, strategies need to be used across the board. Literacy is not just an English class issue. Unfortunately, what I have noticed in the past is that when we often try and implement certain strategies throughout the school, we are inconsistent. Whatever we choose to do, it should be done incrementally so that it doesn't get abandoned before it develops any traction.

When I am planning, I create questions that follow the guidelines set forth by the standards as well as choose phrasing that is modeled after the NYS ELA exam. I want to challenge my students and prepare them for their exams as well as for what they will experience when they get to high school. ~Gibaldi
