Super questions
Our class has been learning about how super readers ask super questions while they read. Today, each table was given a different biography to read. After the table read the biography, they were supposed to write FIVE super questions about their book. We, then, "carouseled" to another table, read their bookend answered this super questions. Our objective for the day was to be able to write/create and answer super questions. Be sure to ask your students what are super questions.
