We have been talking about our last big question we should ask ourselves as we are reading nonfiction. By asking what challenges, changed or confirmed our thinking, we are looking more critically at the text in front of us. First, we used a poster like this to discuss what the question means. Then I modeled recording on sticky notes any of my thoughts that were challenged, changed, or confirmed as we read an article on log jams. Students then worked together reading and recording their thoughts on an article about getting the logs to the saw mills. Students then sorted their sticky notes onto our white board to share them with the rest of the class. It was wonderful for us to see that what was confirmed for some, might have been challenged for others. We also noticed their were a lot of thoughts changed, so a lot of new thinking happened!
