Driving Questions
Look at the three Driving Questions below and in your groups, decide which question you would like to answer. Each group can answer the same question or each group can answer different questions. The choice is yours!
- How can we bring poetry to others?
- How can we teach the art of storytelling to younger members of our community?
- How can we encourage students to write their own stories?
Thinking Routine: +1 Routine
What will your group do or make to answer your Driving Question? Follow the prompts below to draw or write out some ideas with your group. Remember to download or save your work for future use!
Think about your group’s question and how you might want to answer the problem. Consider what might be important within this topic. The aim of this exercise is to get you thinking and working together to create ideas. Everything is possible here!
Recall: In 2-3 minutes and working individually, generate a list of key ideas that you recall from the topic that you feel is important to hang onto. Do this from memory rather than reviewing notes or materials.
Add (+) 1: Pass your papers to the right. Taking 1-2 minutes, read through the list in front of you and add one new thing to the list. The addition might be an elaboration (adding a detail), a new point (adding something that was missing), or a connection (adding a relationship between ideas). REPEAT this process at least two more times. (Keep passing the papers to the right.)
Act: Return the papers back to the original owner. Read through and review all the additions that have been made on your original sheet. At the same time you may add any ideas you’ve picked up from reading other’s sheets that they thought were worthwhile.
