Guiding+Questions+and+Activities

= Guiding Questions and Activities = [|Oneco's Gifted Website]

With a project like this, the teacher is not the one asking all the questions, nor is she/he the one with all the answers. The teacher becomes a guide and a learner right along with the students. The students learn to ask the questions and develop a process to find their own answers.

** Guiding Questions asked before work began: **
- What does girl bullying look like? - Why do they bully? - Is there anyone out there trying to do anything about it? How can we find these people? -Why are there so many examples on TV and in the movies?

-Why do you collect data? How is data used? I know it seems silly, but due to their age, it needed to answered. - How can these questions be asked and get honest answers?
 * Questions about the process:**

= = = Guiding Activities =

Please note that during these Guiding Activities some **Guiding Questions** and questions about the process did arise and have been included in this section.
= 1. The Survey = Since [|Oneco Elementary School] has single gender classes, the girls decided they would design and conduct a [|Survey] with questions related to the issue of girl bullying to a few all-girl classes.

//** Some the data from these surveys: **//

Questions that arose while working on this survey were:
-Who can they ask some personal questions? -How can we ask the questions and allow girls to be honest? -Again, why do you collect data? How is the data used? These girls could not be more excited about the process, but I think it is important for them to understand why they are doing what they are doing.
 * - ** How can we ask the questions so we would have some data with which we can work (i.e. multiple choice)?

= = = 2. Audio Interviews = The girls thought it might be a good idea to hear what some adults on campus had to say about the issue, so they decided to interview different adult staff members on campus. They have paired up and written five questions to ask during these interviews.

Feel free to check out those [|Interviews].

Questions that arose while constructing these audio interviews were:
-What things do we need to do to prepare for these interviews? -How do we make the person we are interviewing more comfortable? -What perspective and/or information can these adults give us that we did not get from the surveys?

= **3. Internet Research** = = = We thought it might be a good idea to research on what other people are doing to stop girl bullying.

** Questions that arose while working on this research: **
= = -How do we go about narrowing down our search? The internet is a big place. -How do we tell if someone is an expert or that you can trust what they are saying?
