  1. THICK VS. THIN QUESTIONS • PROUDLY PRESENTED BY MRS. DAVIS TO CLASS 5-301

  2. THE RATIONALE FOR QUESTIONING: “Without questioning skills, you’re just a passenger on someone else’s tour bus. You may be on the highway but someone else is doing the driving.” Jamie McKenzie

  3. ???????????????? • Good readers ask questions before reading, during reading, and after reading. Questions are asked of the author or about the content of the reading. Asking questions helps the reader monitor and understand their reading. "When I ask a question, I ask something that can be answered as I read or after I finish reading." Today, we will look at the skill of generating questions and the difference between thin vs. thick questions.

  4. Thick vs. Thin Questions What’s the difference?

  5. Thick Questions • Don’t have just one right answer. • They begin with: • Why... • How come... • I wonder... • “What would happen If?…” • “What does he/she means by…”

  6. THICK QUESTIONS THICK questions address large, universal concepts… For instance, “What is photosynthesis?” You could not answer that question with one word. The answers are long and involved and need to be researched.

  7. Thin Questions Questions that can be answered with a number or a simple “yes, or No” fall in this category. For instance, “How many planets are there?” You use thin questions to understand specific details.

  8. GRADUATION DAY OF JAKE MOON:

  9. THICK OR THIN? • What does the old man at the Dumpster do when the boys shout insults at him? • What did Jake find in the freezer on his first day of fourth grade? • Why was the first title called “the Twist?” • Why do you think the story switched from third person into first person in the first chapter? • What was Skelly’s nickname for Thorbert Piddler? • How does the author show the changes in Jake as he ages throughout the book? What new choices does he have in his life, and how does he decide to face these choices? • Describe the inner conflict Jake struggles with as he remembers the old Skelly yet has to deal with the Alzheimer's afflicted Skelly. • What is the significance of the title of the story? YOUR TURN….CAN YOU COME UP WITH SOME THICK AND THIN QUESTIONS FOR JAKE MOON?

  10. How do I formulate “Thick Questions” ? By using a Question Matrix.

  11. Thin Questions Thick Questions

  12. OR LET’S MAKE IT SIMPLER…

  13. READING PARTNERSHIPS: • AS YOU MEET WITH YOUR READING PARTNERS AND DISCUSS FICTION & NON-FICTION TEXTS, YOU SHOULD START TO FORMULATE SOME GOOD THICK AND THIN QUESTIONS… • NEXT STEPS: THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN TURN THIN QUESTIONS INTO THICK ONES? • EXAMINING & INTEGRATING POHL’S “THINK TO LEARN” QUESTION STEMS INTO OUR CONVERSATIONS
