Defining Engaging Questions
4
  • Engaging Questions bring students beyond basic
    fact-gathering and requires them to solve a
    problem or make a decision.
  • Engaging Questions challenge students to think at
    the highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy by
    requiring critical evaluation and reflection.

5
  • Engaging Questions spark curiosity and sense of
    wonder.
  • Answers to Engaging Questions cannot be found.
    They must be invented.
  • Students must construct their own answers and
    make their own meaning from the information they
    have gathered. They create insight.

6
  • Engaging Questions usually lend themselves well
    to multidisciplinary investigations.

Good Examples
8
Ancient American Empires
  • The "Ingenue", a time machine, lands in your
    backyard. You and your team are taken aboard and
    Captain Chronus gives you your choice of
    traveling to one of the three "Ancient American
    Empires" for a one-year visit. Which of the three
    ancient empires would you prefer visiting for a
    year? Be prepared to defend your choice, based on
    the information your team gathers about each
    empire.

9
Which Spice?
  • You are a poor Italian trader and have heard that
    there is great money to be made in selling
    spices. You don't know much about spices but have
    decided to join with another trader to do some
    research to figure out which spice would be the
    most profitable to harvest and sell.

10
1620 Living
  • You and your team are a group of children living
    in either the Jamestown or Plymouth Colony. After
    investigating living conditions in both colonies,
    decide where you would have preferred living, in
    the year 1620.

11
Oregon Wagon Trail
  • You are a pioneer just starting out on the Oregon
    Wagon Trail. You need to decide what you will
    take with you in order to survive the trip, and
    to set up a new home in the Oregon Territory.
    Brainstorm, with your team, what you need to find
    out about living conditions on the Trail. After
    learning about the living conditions, write a
    list of items you will take with you, and explain
    why you will need each item.

12
Suppose the earth had no moon. What if the
South had won the Civil War? What does this
mean? What might it mean if certain conditions
and circumstances changed? How could I take
this farther?
