DOK-1 ONE STEPKey Details, Facts, Words, Terms, Events acts . These can stand alone as sources of information. They require the skills of recalling, locating, reading, defining and recognizing. These questions or tasks require students to go to the source or recall information and are one –step DOK-1 questions. Students do one thing. The answer is either right or wrong.

DOK-3 THREE STEPSEvidence, Quotes, Examples, References, Word Choices, Points of View, Bias, Purpose., New Problems, Conclusions, Generalizations, Conjectures. These concepts move students into reasoning. They require the skills of explaining, generalizing, connecting, describing the effects of, solving and interpreting. DOK-3, three -step questions are asking students to (1) explain “HOW” the two-step questions are connected [how are the key details helping us identify the main idea? How do the illustrations in the text contribute more to the story?] (2) show how they solved the question using words, pictures, graphic organizers and (3) draw and justify a conclusion.

DOK-2 TWO STEPSCause and Effect, Results, Relationships, Concepts, Ideas. These are not stand alone concepts. They are broader. They require the skills of specifying, explaining, showing, summarizing, logically inferring, identifying, predicting and showing explicit generalizations using two-steps (1) locating and selecting those stand-alone pieces of information (DOK-1 facts, terms, words, etc…) to (2) identify and verify the correct answer. The answer is still either right or wrong.

Game RulesPre-Game Activity

1. Read DOK level Descriptors2. Read the Story (Facilitator Models how to “find questions” while

reading) and think about possible questions you could ask students at different DOK Levels.3. Participants discuss question ideas and the different DOK levels.

The Game Rules Divide participants into teams of 4 players each. Hand out one set of DOK DOTS and one set of Question Cards per team. Lay the Question Cards with the Question Side Up, in a stack. Spread out the three sets of DOK DOTS. The person with (i.e., the birthday earliest in the year goes first, then so

on). The person reads the first Question Card from the stack to the team. The

reader MUST NOT allow the back of the card to be seen – read the question card with it lying flat.

The team comes to a consensus of the DOK level of the question. After a consensus is reached, the reader checks the answer on the back

of the card. If the team was correct – place the Question Card under the DOK DOT

set in which it belongs. If the team was incorrect – place the Question Card aside. Continue with all cards. When all cards have been played, review the Question Cards that were

set aside, discuss and then place under the correct DOK DOT set in which it belongs.

Supply List: Golden Keys

A bunch of golden keys is mineTo make each day with gladness shine.

"Good morning!" that's the golden keyThat unlocks every door for me.

When evening comes, "Good night!" I say,And close the door of each glad day.

When at the table "If you please"I take from off my bunch of keys.

When friends give anything to me,I'll use the little "Thank you" key.

"Excuse me," "Beg your pardon," too,When by mistake some harm I do.

Or if unkindly harm I've given,With "Forgive me" key I'll be forgiven.

On a golden ring these keys I'll bind,This is its motto: "Be ye kind.“

I'll often use each golden key,And so a happy child I'll be.
