Microteaching #5 - Questioning Updated for November 14, 2011

===Choose an instructional topic of your choice (preferably from your conceptual unit plan design so you can begin 'beefing up' your unit plan page). Next, locate a visual primary source that relates to your instructional topic (e.g. a political cartoon, magazine cover, map, pamphlet, photograph, painting, etc.). Avoid choosing a primary source that requires a lot of reading because that takes up too much time during microteaching (e.g. a speech, an essay, a long letter). ===

For your visual primary source, create examples of the following question types:

 * lower-order and higher-order questions
 * convergent (one answer) and divergent (multiple answers)

===You should plan for __eight to ten minutes__ to share your primary source with the students in your microteaching group and pose four or five of the questions you have written. You may have time to pose all eight questions, but don't rush through exploring the questions with your students (enforce wait time!) ===
