Part 1: Intro and Producing Questions

In 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 Questions

Part 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.

Part 5: Choosing Top 3 Questions

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)
