Put the Question in the Answer

Do your students struggle answering open-ended responses with complete sentences?  I know mine do!  One thing that has helped me has been the PQA strategy… Put the Question in the Answer.  How does it work? 

Let’s say you are reading Maniac Magee and your students have this simple question to answer… 

What did Maniac do when he was on stage?  Normally I would get answers like this… 

Ran out of the theater (who ran out of the theater?) He ran out of the theater (who is he?) 

If they used the PQA strategy the answer would look like this…

When Maniac was on stage he ran out of the theater. 

I have found the PQA strategy to be helpful when I am grading too.  When I see students starting responses with a pronoun then I just write PQA and they know what I need them to fix.   

I have created a product to help you use the PQA strategy. There are 4 color posters to choose from and 2 Black & White versions.  All six contain adorable Melonheadz clipart. 

The product also contains directions for printing the posters 2 per page and 4 per page.  This is perfect for printing the Black & White version for students to tape into notebooks or onto their desks. 

Head over to my Teachers Pay Teachers Store to grab this product for FREE!

    I still have to repeatedly teach this to my middle schoolers. I always remind them that vague pronouns are not okay.

I survived shot #2! I am not going to lie- it was I survived shot #2! I am not going to lie- it was a doozy! It was way worse than the first dose. I got the shot at 4:00pm on Friday afternoon. I went to bed Friday night and woke up in the middle of the night with severe chills and a fever. I had body aches and pains. I had it all day Saturday and went to bed with it Saturday night. I woke up today (Sunday) morning feeling better. Today I just feel exhausted and have no appetite. I should be fine to go to school tomorrow. It was a crazy ride but since getting Covid with kidney disease could be worse- I am grateful to have gotten the vaccinations. I hope that all of my fellow in person teachers will get their shots soon too if they choose to get one. I also hope that all of the virtual teachers that want the shot will get it so that they can get back to in person learning #covid #vaccinations #moderna #teachingthroughapandemic #shot2
I have had the opportunity to teach at the same sc I have had the opportunity to teach at the same school that I graduated from and also where I met my husband. He is also an alum. We are privileged to be able to send our children there to receive the same Christian education that our parents worked so hard to be able to provide for us! I am happy to be part of the faculty that teaches God’s truth to the next generation! #tcslife #christianschoolteachers #alumniteachersrock
