Student questions

As teachers engage in conversations leading up to the inquiry, student curiosity and questions are bound to arise. Capturing and documenting those questions may further inform details for finalizing learning engagements throughout the unit of inquiry. It is not suggested that teachers must wait to elicit questions before planning the remainder of the unit, rather leaving some space to honor student interest and queries.

Questions documented in this section of the planner may be generated from class conversations, student journals or provocation experiences. Teachers may consider how exploring these questions can promote agency within the unit by fostering student voice, choice and ownership.

These examples of classroom displays show ways to capture student thinking, questioning and curiosity throughout a unit of inquiry.
