Assessment
Idea shared by Val Baron (JEL) and Terra Kaliszuk (AISI Instructional Coach)
Assessment Premise:
Students will write their own HOTS questions for a given Program of Studies
objective. Students will then create answers for these questions as a formative or
summative assessment to show their learning.
Materials:
Question writing handouts for students: WritingGreatQuestions.doc
1. Introduce students to writing their own powerful questions for a given topic
of study.
Suggestion: Once students begin generating questions, and while students are working on
the task, select some students to share a question they’ve written on the board.
o These student-generated exemplars will serve to scaffold struggling students and
provide a student-created example of quality questioning.
Suggestion: Use a snowball activity to distribute HOTS questions around the room
o Students anonymously write their HOTS questions on a piece of paper, crumple them
up, and then throw them around the room, eventually picking up a snowball and
answering the questions inside.
3. After formative practice – with question writing and P.O.S. objective – students
write their own powerful HOTS questions, and answer them as their
summative assessment for the P.O.S. objective.
Suggestion: Students write 2-3 powerful questions for a given topic. Students then
consult with Teacher to choose the MOST powerful question they wrote to complete for
assessment.
