Writing for Inquiry

Most educators have a lot of practice writing questions to assess student knowledge, but writing questions that guide students toward the invention of a concept is one of the most challenging elements of creating a quality POGIL Activity. In this session, facilitators Kristi Deaver (Ankeny Centennial High School) and Tricia Shepherd (University of Pittsburgh) will provide writing tips and insights based on their experiences as both author and author coach. Participants will work in teams through examples illustrating the process of writing questions that guide students to construct meaning through exploration, concept invention and application.
