The Essential Question – Student-Developed Questions Using the Newspaper

The complexity of our
world is increasing rapidly with the rise of technology. We have access
to much more information than any other generation. For this reason it
is important not to only ask the right questions but also to ask them
in a logical sequence. Without a sequential questioning strategy,
students often flounder, go off track and overlook essential
information. This guide, written by Dr. Darla Shaw and published by the
Newspaper in Education Institute, provides numerous activities to build
critical questioning skills through newspaper and Internet usage.
