Big6 Question of the Week- Overview

The Big6 is a problem-solving strategy developed by teacher-researchers Bob Berkowitz and Mike Eisenberg. It is used by students as a research model. To learn more about the Big6, click here or on the Big6 logo in this posting.

Here's how the Big6 Question of the Week works:

1. Every Monday morning, our students are introduced to a Big6 Question of the Week. The questions range in difficulty and across all subjects.


2. Students find the answer to the question through their own research or with help from their teacher or parents. Adults in the school participate as well.


3. Answers are recorded on Big6 answer forms and placed in the Big6 box which is located in the media center. Click here to access the "official" Big6 answer forms.


4. On Friday, answer forms are pulled from the Big6 box to find the first student and adult with the correct answer. The correct answer to the question, the "winners" and a new question are all announced on Monday morning.
