I enjoyed working with K-2 teachers in Alachua, FL recently. We looked at their literacy stations and how to add depth and purpose. They are required to post “essential questions” in kid-friendly language to answer with their classes. I’ve posted some clear examples here.
Essential questions for literacy and math
I love that this teacher posted her EQ on a sentence strip attached to her overhead. It was easy for everyone to see!
An "I Can" list made with this 1st grade class helps students know clearly what is expected at this poetry station.
