Part 1: Intro and Producing QuestionsIn this video I introduce QFT to my students. I overview what it is all about and the purpose. As I reflect on this, I would have changed my QFocus to "Famous Hoosiers are recognized." I would change it because celebrated might be seen as biased.

Part 2: Categorizing QuestionsPart two of QFT is to categorize questions as Open/Closed. What I quickly learned, as you can hear in the video, they are more familiar with thick/thin questions. I also should have spent class time before QFT to review the pros/cons of these types of questions.

Part 3: Improving Question |
Part 4: Prioritizing Questions |
Now students will take the time to see if some questions would be better as thin, rather than thick questions, and vice versa.
|
Students now are split into groups to decide what are their top questions. Typically you only just choose a few, but I wanted to see if they could connect questions to find the best ones.

Here's the final part of our first time using QFT. While there was a lot of teacher talk at times, I take more a backseat as we continue to use it throughout the year. I was proud of there discussions and how they decided on their final three questions. (Also, please disregard the backwards camera angle on the third video)
