Thick+and+Thin+Questioning

|| Thick and Thin Questioning || || When students are in book clubs or [|reading partnerships], they ask questions about the books they read. Readers are encouraged to ask questions that cannot be easily found in the text. The answers to thick questions are inferred. They require the reader to make predictions or to formulate new beliefs and ideas.

To help students practice writing thick questions, you can also include them in your daily read-aloud. Each day after youread a chapter aloud from a class novel, invite students to write a thick question on an index card and add it to the card holder on a "Thick Questions" bulletin board. Pick one thick question to ask the class before you begin reading from the novel the following day and lead a brief class discussion. The pictures above are examples of what a questioning bulletin board may look like in your classroom. ||
