Revising and Refining Interpretive Questions

This is the sequence of tasks that you started in November. Please take a look at the interpretive question you deveolped and work with your team to respond to the following:

  • How does the question we developed fit in to the frame work from Great Books?

  • How might we revise or refine that question if it doesn't quite fit?

Bridge to Practice

The purpose of this bridge to practice is for you to continue to develop an interpretation task.

Work with your team to develop an interpretation question that

    • uses your own uncertainty,

    • focuses on important ideas; and

    • explores the complexities and contradictions in a text.

Remember, this question should support more than yes or no responses and should be rooted in the text.

Once you have drafted your question, work as a team to develop a task sheet for that question. You'll be asked to share your question (and task sheet if you created one) at our next meeting.

Please let us know if you have any questions and have a great break!
