3. My Map
I will observe three Resource Teachers’ questioning and reacting techniques based on my
past lesson on “Effective Questioning and Reacting Techniques”.
To realize my Target, I will dothe following steps:
Step 1: Review " Effective Questioning and
eacting Techniques" on pp. 161 - 171 in
Principles of Teaching 1, 2007 by Corpuz, B.
and G. Salandalan.
Step2 : Observe my Resource
Teacher as she teaches with the use of
an Observation Sheet.
Step 4: Analyze my answers with
the aid of questions.
Step 5: Reflect on my observations.

4. My Tools
Score the Resource Teacher every time he/she demonstrates any of the following
questioning behaviors. Sample is shown in item #1.

8. My Portfolio
I promote higher – order – thinking skills (HOTS) and interaction for learning by the kind
of questions that I ask.
Here are learning objectives. Formulate at least two examples of questions that promote
divergent thinking and HOTS.
Elementary (For BEEd Student)
1. At the end of the lesson, the pupil is able to identify the functions of the organs of the
digestive system.
Secondary (For BSEd Student)
1. After having been presented the pros and cons of teaching reproductive health in
schools, the student must be able to take a stand on the controversial issue and give
reasons for such stand.
Write your two divergent questions here!
