1 Dear Teacher, Here at the Kings County Office of Education, we strongly encourage higher levels of thinking in the learning environment. In an effort to aid you in this process, we have provided educational materials for learning before, during and after your IVC presentation. Below you will find a set of questions appropriate for your grade level, structured similar to that of the California State Standard Testing questions. We encourage you to use these questions with your students to increase their level of thinking beyond the simple question-answer routine. We have included Kagen Structures to aid you in this educational endeavor. Please seriously consider incorporating these structures into your lesson plan. For further information, we have provided the necessary resource information for Kagen Structures. Happy Teaching! Kings County Office of Education IVC Program 1144 W.
