I think Marilynn thought I was CRAZY when I told her about this, but I gave this as a small extra "fun" assignment to one of my AP (!) classes. media type="youtube" key="iJ3rjXSsRns?fs=1" height="385" width="640" Each student submitted an "Ask Elmo" question the next class (they're 10th grade PreIB) and we're going to evaluate them according to low level and high level criteria. We're also going to examine who asked questions staying in "character" so to speak and who asked from a more "real" perspective. Next time maybe I'll ask them to craft questions for a non-muppet, non-toddler subject...
