What did you do in school today? Nothing
I remember as a kid when my parents asked me what I had done in school that day I would mutter the phrase “nothing” (don’t think I am alone on this one). I think it’s the question that’s the problem here not the kids. Below are a list of questions that might be useful for reflective teachers and parents.
- When were you most interested or curious today?
- Was there a time today when you were confused? What did you do?
- What is one thing that was hard to believe? Not confusing, but surprising?
- What would you like to know more about?
- Did you teach anyone anything today? What did you teach them?
- Is there anything we could have done to make today more interesting?
- When were you most creative today?
- Can yourself and your partner tell me one fun thing you learned, one useful thing you learned, and one extraordinary thing you learned today?
- What does a successful day at school look like to you? Feel like?
