=Thin and Thick Questions in Science=

2) Students will login Edmodo and come up with a thin question and a thick question. 3) I will have the other class answer the questions and then flipflop the order with the other classes. 4) Then we will review which questions met the criteria as a good thin/thick question. || Please identify opportunities for differentiation. || My morning class created the thin/thick questions for my afternoon class to answer. The morning class did a wonderful job formulating the questions for the other kids to answer. The students in the afternoon class that answered the questions did a good job answering it. I assigned the questions for homework and found that only a handful of kids did it for homework. I think in the future, we will have to designate more time in class to answer the question in class. Hopefully that allows every student to answer the question. ||
