question stems and sentence starters are being used in a variety
of ways to have students reflect on their learning.

have students copy and paste question stems to their blogs.
Remember to encourage variety.
2. Teachers copy and paste a question stem to their blog and
have the students respond.
3. Print out the complete set and have the students glue them
into a reference book to be referred to.
