Read Kansas! Primary - P-09 Learning to Ask Questions
The purpose of this first grade lesson is for students to learn how to generate questions about historical materials. Students will practice asking and writing questions about five photographs on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s life. As part of a class discussion, students will try to answer their questions using the photographs. When the answer cannot be found in the photograph, students will practice early research skills by speculating on other resources where they might find the answer. This lesson can take up to five class periods or can be adjusted to meet individual teacher’s needs. Select each image to see a PDF with the front and back of each card.
