create relationships.
• Can you break down the problem into smaller parts?
• What can you infer from what you read?
• Can you find a problem/question similar to this in the textbook to use
as an example?
• What is the relationship between ___ and ___?
Examples
• Compare and contrast genes and chromosomes.
• Diagram and order the stages of photosynthesis.
• Analyze the causes of the American Revolution.

Ask Level 3 questions to apply knowledge
acquired and connections made to predict,
judge, hypothesize or evaluate.
• How do you know the solution is correct? How could you check your answer?
• Is there more than one way to solve the problem?
• How do you interpret the message of the text?
• Is there a real life situation where this can be applied or used?
• How would you teach this to a friend?
Examples
• Apply the Pythagorean theorem to the find the measurement of this triangle.
• If there were a Constitutional amendment that prohibited ownership of
weapons by citizens, how might American society be affected?
• Imagine you were a soldier fighting in the Civil War. How would you feel?

• Reword the question using other words from the same Costa level.
• Construct a new question using words from higher or lower Costa levels.
• Use several level one questions to create a level two or three question.
• Relate ideas from the question to: a personal experience, a movie, to the
“big” questions of life, or random words (to find “hidden connections”).
• If you don’t know how to answer the question, develop a new question that
you predict will have a similar answer but is easier to discuss. Example:
Change “What caused the Civil War?” into “Compare and contrast the North
and the South before the Civil War.”

(3).
2. Develop level one questions into a level two or three question (3).
3. Brainstorm possible answers to the question (3).
4. Evaluate the brainstormed ideas (3) and discuss how well they
answer the question (1).
5. Summarize this process (3).
6. Repeat as time allows.
