Ciardiello, A.V. (1998). Did you ask a good question today? Alternative cognitive and
metacognitive strategies. Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy 42(3), 210-
219.
What it means: According to Ciariello (1998), Reciprocal Questioning is a procedure in which the teacher and students take turns asking and answering each other’s questions about reading or a picture.
Level of Familiarity: I have heard of Reciprocal Teaching which is a similar strategy in which te student takes on the teacher role and leads the class in a discussion. Reciprocal Questioning would be an interesting strategy to use in the classroom.
Do I want to know this word well and tell why? I do want to know what this word means; I would like to use this strategy in my classroom, not only as a comprehension and questioning strategy, but as a whole class review.
Do I think others should know this word well....if so who and why? Teachers should know this word well, It can be of benefit to them when developing questions, or having their students develop questions in class. Teachers can also use this type of strategy as a review.
I really like your idea of using the strategy as part of your classroom routine when engaging in "whole class review" as well as monitoring understanding of a particular reading or concept, Danielle. I can see how this would be beneficial to the students.
