Levels of Questions (Open via TPT) ***This works with any text. It’s a strategy I learned while in PD at Empire High School. I’ve been using it for years, and it engages students while keeping them accountable during the reading of a text. I’ve used this strategy when teaching 9th, 10th, and 12th grade.

****Levels of Questions (LOQs) is a reading and critical thinking strategy to drive discussions with student-based personal question/answer. The strategy Levels of Questions is structured around Questions for Critical Thinking via Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Instructions are as follows : students will be assigned text to read while participating in this close reading strategy that will ultimately drive/guide discussion based on the aforementioned reading. Students are incentivized to participate by a point system (rubric is hyperlinked in the document).

Once the allotted amount of reading time is up, the discussion will begin.
