The question can be specific, or broad the teachers example will be: What is the biggest volcano on Earth? The teacher will tell the students to share their question with the partner sitting next to them. They will be told to keep their post-it note in their binder and if their question gets answered they should write the answer. At the end of the unit, if the students still have a question that hasnt been answered, the teacher will look the answers up and relay the information back to the students.
