An Introduction to Restate the Question Oral Language |

This Getting to Know You Restating the Question unit gives students practice responding to questions in complete sentences through Back to School activities like morning meetings and student interviews. Restating the Question while answering questions is a difficult skill for many students. Introducing it through oral language is a great way to provide scaffolds and set the expectation of answering in complete sentences all year long. Use it during Back to School and during your morning meeting or community circle all year long!

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• 128 question cards- some with restate the question scaffolds, some without
• Student interview templates with and without scaffolds
• About Me writing pages with and without scaffolds

The question cards can be used as a classroom greeting or part of morning meeting. Some cards include sentence stems for responses, while others expect students to know how to respond in a complete sentence independently. The different sets let you gradually increase the complexity with students.

The student interview templates include writing lines for a variety of grades. Whether you're in first grade or third grade, the student interview can be done by students independently through scaffolding.

This is also a great resource for ESL/ELD students. It helps them build syntax understanding as well as conversational skills.
