Asking Effective Questions
Three-Step Interview

Four Corners
In the Four Corners strategy students to make a decision about whether they strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree in response to a statement, issue or question. Students with similar responses are grouped in order to discuss their ideas. Each group then presents to the class.
Graffiti
This one-page document explains how to use the Graffiti strategy. In this strategy groups of students brainstorm ideas around a central topic and record their ideas on sheets of chart paper.
Inside Outside Circle
In this learning strategy students are arranged in two circles, an inner circle and an outer circle. The students on the inside face outward while the students on the outside face inward. After being given a short amount of time to think about a question that has been put on the board the students discuss their answer with the person they are facing. When the teacher gives a signal the outside circle moves in one direction and each student has a new partner with whom to share. The web link provides steps and tips for using this strategy in the classroom.
Jigsaw Activities
This document explains how to develop a lesson plan using the jigsaw activity. The example used is for a grade four oral communication and visual arts lesson.
