Marzano Thinking Skills

Wow I forgot how exhausting the beginning of the year can be!  Just wanted to share a goal of mine for this upcoming school year - to be better at questioning! I made examples of different types of questions I can ask during whole group carpet time (during read alouds, etc.) and guided reading groups. They are based off of Marzano's 7 thinking skills: knowledge, organizing, applying, analyzing, generating, integrating, and evaluating. I plan on putting these on a ring and keeping them by my small group and carpet areas. Hope you can find them useful!

  1. This is awesome. This was one of the things when I looked at our new rubric for evaluation that I knew I needed to improve in. Thanks so much for sharing.

  4. I LOVE your questioning guide!!! I am a first year teacher and this resource is wonderful! In our class, we are trying to encourage the children to question each other, so I will put these on a binder ring to model for their own use! The only thing I noticed was on the "Generating" page, I think it is supposed to say "Imagine how life would be different if _____." Amazing job though!
