Frankie the duck has turned up at Frankley School. He appeared a few weeks ago and is now here everyday. He has made our school his new home!
Frankie seems very tame and is getting friendlier each week he stays. We need to make sure that Frankie stays happy and healthy. He has special requirements to keep him in optimum health, prevent him from getting diseases and ensure he has the proper diet his particular species should have.
We also need to know that Frankie will not harm or bother staff or students. We must make sure that Frankie does not pose a health hazard to us, spread diseases and that our grounds stay clean from his waste.
Write 5 good questions that we need to ask to help us make sure of this.
These are my 5 questions:
What are the special requirements that need to happen to keep Frankie, a duck that has made Frankley School his home, from getting diseases and in optimum health, and how can we help Frankie meet those special requirements?
How can we ensure that Frankie, a duck that has made Frankley School his home, has a proper diet for his/her particular species, and that he/her gets all he/her needs to live that diet?
How can we ensure that Frankie, a duck that has made Frankley School his home, will not harm or bother staff or pupils of Frankley School, and that Frankie is not a health hazard to us?
How can we ensure that Frankie, a duck that has made Frankey School his new home, will not spread diseases, and that our school grounds will stay clean from his waste?
How can we make sure that Frankie, a duck that has made Frankley School its new home, will stay happy and healthy?
The teachers rated the questions looking at the question waka. The are marked as effective questions if they are stages 3-7. When we write questions we try to get a range of questions between 3 and 7.
3= Asking 'yes', 'no', 'maybe' questions
4= Using the seven servants and key words.
5= Using the seven servants, key words and key phrases.
6= Using the seven servants and synonyms of key words.
7= Probing questions using two or more question words when interviewing a person.
Most of the time when you are writing you try not to only do one of the stages, especially 3. If you only yes/no questions it would be hard to get information.
Hi Mercy
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your questions. You wrote very full questions and they are effective. Perhaps have a try at identifying all the different information you need to know and write a question for each. E.G, write one on diet, one on diseases ...?? What do you think? You could write one in reply to this comment?
