This resource is described in more detail on this blog post. The post describes a lesson on questioning using the book, Snowmen at Work, for modeling as well as how we use questions for reading comprehension, reading skills, and to drive research and exploration.
This was a great resource to introduce thick and thin questions to my students! We read the book, then color coded the questions and sorted them. They loved it!
Great to help introduce asking and answering questions to my students. Thanks for creating.
Perfect introductory activity for questioning!
