The QFT

STEP ONE:
Get into your teams of three to four and sit at one table together.

STEP TWO:
The Reporter is the only one who writes

STEP THREE:
Let the Reporter sit in the middle and share the doc with the other team members.

The Q Rules

• I will give you a Qfocus; Type it as a title at the top of your document.
• Ask as many questions as you can during the given time.
• Let the reporter type them exactly as they were asked.
• Change any statements into question
• DO NOT ANSWER OR JUDGE THE Qs

DO NOT ANSWER, DISCUSS, OR JUDGE THE QUESTIONS!

READY?
Have the Scribe of each team give a thumbs-up when you are ready?

The QFocus

Hints

• Who, what, when, where, why?
• Are there, is there?

Label all of your questions open or closed

What are open and closed questions?

Open Questions

• Have complex answers
• More subjective
• Not as easy to define
• Open to debate

Closed Questions

• Have simple answers
• Objective
• Easy to check
• Easy to agree on

Switch your open to closed and closed to open

Prioritize:
Put your questions in order from most to least important.
(Team Consensus)

Research

• Start Researching to find answers to your questions
• each teammate can take a question at a time.
• Put your findings in a shared document,
• Remember to show where you found the information (site your source).
• You may use the internet, databases, interviews, books or any resource
• Link articles and be prepared to share and discuss the articles in class next week.

Knock out the simple, closed questions first!

Display

• Very soon, each team will create a presentation showing what they found.
• The method of presentation is up to you, but it lends itself well to Powerpoints

Discussion Time

Great work teams!
