Tip: Curriculum-framing Questions (CFQs) > Content Questions
Like one chapter of a book, the content questions are fact-based, concrete questions that have a narrow set of answers. They deal mostly with facts, rather than the interpretation of those facts, and they typically have clear-cut answers. They often relate to definitions, identifications, and general recall of information (e.g. questions found explicitly within a text). Content questions are the daily objective that teachers want students to learn that are directly connected to the standards the teachers are teaching.
Examples (from Charlotte’s Web):
- What is a runt?
- Where does the story take place?
- Who loves Wilbur most of all?
