One of our
comprehension goals for this school year is help students learn
how to ask "Deep" questions. Being able to ask deep meaningful
questions is a skill that takes time, but our 2nd graders are
developing the skill quite well. We used a topic in our
Anthology to help us develop this skill. Our class read the a
story titled "Two Mice." This story is another version of the
much loved Town Mouse / Country Mouse Tale. We brainstormed
questions before, during and after reading the story! We found
out that we could not find the answers to all of our questions
just by reading the story that was in our anthology. We
discussed other ways to obtain information about Mice (research
on the Internet, look in books, find a video about mice) . One
of our classmates was asked to do a mini-research project on the
topic of mice. After Brennan gathered his information, he used a
new software program called Max Show to create a powerpoint
presentation on what he discovered about mice.
