Topic / Objective & Essential Question Topic / Objective: 1) To identify and create complex discussion questions for your independent reading. Essential Question: 1) What makes a good question? How can we turn a bad question into a good question? Topic / Objective: 1) To identify and create complex discussion questions for your independent reading. Essential Question: 1) What makes a good question? How can we turn a bad question into a good question?

TURN AND TALK (2 MIN) Q: What makes a good question? Q: What makes a bad question?

COMPARE AND CONTRAST In partners or pairs, compare what Lilia states about Mr. Pirzada on page 118 with her thoughts on pages In Cornell Notes, write an answer to the following question: How has Lilia’s thoughts and attitude toward Mr. Pirzada changed?

COMPARE AND CONTRAST How has Lilia’s thoughts and attitude toward Mr. Pirzada changed? A: Lilia at first was puzzled, shy, and curious towards Mr. Pirzada. However, after his frequent visits, she comes to recognize him as part of the family (she worries about his daughters). After he is reunited with his family, Lilia comes to realize that he no longer has a place with her family. Their separation becomes a reality.

On the Graphic Organizer In the “Conclusion” box, based on the transformation you just described, how would you explain the theme of the story? “the bonds between us”. Hint: To answer this question, you would have to think about Lilia’s connection to her family and culture in relation to Mr. Pirzada’s. Think about our unit’s theme – “the bonds between us”.

Criteria For Good Questions 1) Question should have more than one answer – avoid “yes or no” answers. 2) Question requires justification or evidence to give a sufficient answer. 3) Question requires an answer that draws on multiple parts of a passage or text. 4) The question invites or allows follow-up questions.

Sample “Good Question” “The Three Little Pigs” If you were the first of the three little pigs, what would you do differently to avoid getting eaten?

Sample “Good Question” “When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine” What evidence in the text suggests that Lilia’s perception of Mr. Pirzada has changed over the course of the story? Q: What makes this a good question?

In your LC Groups 1) Take a status check with your group members, i.e. how far are they in their reading? 2) Discuss plot details or ideas that have come up through the course of your reading. 3) Begin completing the handout – develop “good” discussion questions based on lesson ideas (also see the handout).
