Question Starter Grid…

To begin a scripture inquiry a starting point might be using the Question Starter Grid

Read the scripture first so the students have an idea about the story. Begin by asking simple questions about the text .... From all aspects or just one. Try from a historical view eg: What is the date this story was written in? (what month was it? ) When is the most action going to take place? Which setting is the most important? Who is in charge? Why is it set here? How will it unfold?

When children have a few questions on their grid set about asking them to find answers for them.
