The process of creating a well-crafted research questions, including focusing on areas of interest and identifying information or data gaps, is typically an invisible process. In order to make this process visible, I-Know has adapted a series of Thinking Routines into editable lessons and activities. These Thinking Routines were developed by Project Zero, a research center at Harvard Graduate School of Education, and have been adapted to meet the needs of SLO 3A: Create. These routines help build students’ skills and confidence related to creating research questions, and can be used across disciplines. They are designed to be scaffolded practice activities, and not a summative assessment of this learning objective.
The Creative Questions Thinking Routine was developed by Project Zero, a research center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. This activity provides students with practice expanding their thinking, and encourages students’ curiosity and inquiry.
If you want help creating or adapting activities that reflect the I-Know Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) into your own course, you can contact Eric Cosio at eric.cosio@tamucc.edu
