Questioning Matrix
The Question Matrix was designed by Chuck Weiderhold in 1991. It contains 36 question starters asking what, where, when, which, who, why and how. Proceeding through the matrix, the questions become more complex and open-ended.
The Question Matrix could be used:
* to help students create their own questions about a specific topic and to encourage in-depth thinking
* as question starters for teachers to elicit further information about a student's knowledge and understanding of a topic
* to formulate questions for a particular purpose eg organizing a camp, answering questions on a program etc. For example, the Question Matrix can used to answer questions about Behind the News: http://www.abc.net.au/btn

The issues surrounding copyright have never been more visible. But the classroom presents its own copyright-related challenges, for students and teachers alike. How is an educator to know what the rules are? How do those rules apply in the classroom? And how can we make sure that students know the rules as well?
To help educators answer these questions, the Copyright Alliance has established the Copyright Alliance Education Foundation.
Working with Young Minds Inspired, the Foundation has developed a comprehensive program for teachers. Additionally, we have compiled a library of free curricula that helps teachers of all grades and subject areas incorporate copyright into existing lesson plans.
