In this lesson, teachers will use a mentor text and photographs to incite interest and scaffold student inquiry. Students will then practice generating appropriate questions to ask others to learn about their culture, experiences, and background. By using visual supports, students are able to identify points of curiosity and will use teacher support to formulate appropriate and probing questions. Questioning is an essential component of building cultural understanding as well as a means to train students to be more metacognitive about their understanding of the world around them
