Kelly Gallagher's Twenty Questions is an alternative to traditional high school homework assignments that fosters greater text comprehension. The simple design—students write twenty questions as they read assigned text—belies the complexity of the discussion fostered by the student-generated questions. On this day, students use the assignment to respond to George Orwell's 1984 in small-group and whole-class discussions.
Kelly, a "baseballoholic" and a self-described expert at negotiating airports, is also a teacher with 24 years of high school teaching experience behind him. > More
