Individual student questioning template
The example below shows what could be provided as a slip of paper for one individual student…
For example, if they are currently working on a level 3.7, you would expect them to answer all of level 3 questions, the
teacher could target more challenging questions and differentiate what each student has to answer.
a) What questions you will ask your class?
b) What individual questions will you target to Student A, B and C?
c) The tailored questioning-slips like the one below would be for a student currently working at a level 3.7.
d) You could add or delete specific topic questions from the template below to suit the project/student.
