- Formulating questions to meet information needs of ESL students
- This is a multi-activity lesson plan to teach the concept of asking engaging, researchable questions prior to reading. This leads to effective inquiries during project or research work in any content area. Using engaging questions creates a sense of connectedness by linking academic contents with students' personal concerns. The lesson is primarily designed for English Language Learners although it can be adapted for mainstream students. This lesson can also be modified for use with grades 4-8.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3–5 English Language Development, Information Skills, and Social Studies)
- By Deborah Wilkes, Kristi Triplett, and Karen Waller.
