16 questions
Spin the wheel to draw one of 16 discussion questions for pairs or small groups. The questions fit almost any text, topic or lesson, such as "What would you ask the author?" and "What evidence supports your view?"
Use it after a read-aloud, in a science lesson, in a literature circle or during morning meeting. Each group spins its own question, or the teacher spins one question for the whole class. Give pairs 3 minutes to talk, then ask one pair to share. The list is set to Everyone once, so no question repeats until all 16 have been used, which keeps each day of the week fresh.
To match a unit, replace the lines in the list box with your own questions, one per line. Press Fullscreen to put the wheel on the board, and use the Space bar to spin. Classroom mode keeps saved class lists for teachers.
About 3 minutes for pairs and 5 minutes for a small group of four. Set a timer when the wheel stops.
Yes. Type one question per line in the list box, such as a question about this week's story. Save to My Wheels keeps your list in this browser.
Yes. Questions such as "What is still confusing?" and "What example from your life fits this?" suit reading, science and social studies alike.
Keep Everyone once on and spin once per group. A class of 6 groups gets 6 different questions from the 16 on the list.
