Publisher's Synopsis

This unique teaching strategy - question-finding - can help you teach content literacy by presenting puzzling situations that lead your adolescent students to probe the multiple meanings of text and ask challenging, open-ended questions. Question-finding addresses the changing needs of adolescents, too, by reducing social constraints and increasing independence. The author encourages you to ""pause and ponder"" and ""ponder and practice"" within each chapter to reinforce and apply the concepts. Other practical tools include annotated resources, a sample lesson plan, motivational sources for question-finding, and a glossary of important concepts and specialized terms.
