8. “ Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
 Rainer Maria Rilke

17. Scaffolding Questions
What is rigor?" If you do any research on rigor, you will find that rigor does not mean difficulty. Instead rigor means the level of mental processing that must occur to answer a question, perform a task or generate a product. DOK questions offer insight into scaffolding needs and differentiation.

18. Using the strategy with RIGOR
Adding page #s with a REQUIRED amount of information under the evidence.
On state tests answering the question (Part A) is not enough you need the information the evidence (Part B)
