The supporting questions are a great strategy at the beginning of a Project-based Learning Unit. Our Kami Hero Steve Martinez uses this to have his students receive an Umbrella Question (Driving Question) that becomes the focus of the entire PBL experience.

The supporting questions are questions that students can ask to better understand the Umbrella Question, or what needs to be asked in order to begin to answer the Umbrella Question. This level of empowerment and inquiry positions students to ask their own questions, find truth through inquiry, and then document their citations to refer back to later.

This Umbrella Question reads, “To What Degree, Should Citizens Stand Up to Their Government.” What kind of BIG Complex questions can you think of for students?

Kami amplifies this inquiry by giving students the ability to “talk out” their inquiry, “plan out their PBL,” and receive feedback from their teacher through the Kami tools. The supporting questions is a jumping off start before tackling the PBL by interrogating the question.
