Question wall - getting them to think more, having post-its on wall, students taking themeselves over to the wall to look at it.
PPPB - using across different KLAs - students getting better at it, hard to know how long to wait for an answer, still some students struggling. 'Bounce' aspect can be hard as they are not always listening to what the other students are saying. May need to work in smaller groups first. May need to change the way we seat them to make the dialogue and interation more 'normal' and authentic.
Question stems - the questions we chose were too hard, need to be in 'childspeak'. Really hard for students to explain their strategy and working out.
Question continuums - students focusing on what they've just learnt rather then asking questions about how they can use the learning/skill or the big picture. More stems and scaffolding may help.
Questioning at beginning/end of lesson - working well having students ask questions at the beginning of the lesson then returning to them at the end of lesson is good for reflecting on what they've learnt.
