Anticipatory Set:
Use a Pixar short (Geri’s Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLQG3sORAJQ) to introduce the different levels of
questioning. Hand out post-it notes to students. Have the students write one question they thought of while watching
Geri’s Game on each post-it note. Have students read their questions and place them in one of three columns on the
whiteboard (keep the level titles secret). After the questions are grouped, ask students to reflect on what the questions
in each column have in common.
Example whiteboard:
What game is he playing? Why did he spin the chess board? Why is he playing by himself?
I chose to replace the Ocean Article with the Black Hole Article not only because it features a more contemporary event
in the scientific field, but also because it showcases the accomplishment of a young woman in an older-male dominated
field, representation which has the potential to inspire the girls in the class.
Student Reflection:
Levels of Questions Exit Ticket
Extension Activities:
Use Levels of Questioning with Vermeer Artwork to practice different levels of questioning (slides 5-6).
Use Ivan Kramskoy’s “Portrait of an Unknown Woman” to practice different levels of questioning.
I chose to incorporate Russian art because my student population has an unusually high percentage of native Russian
families. In addition, this painting better lends itself to practice of the three levels of questions:
Where is the woman? What season is it? Why is she glaring at the viewer?
