Great Info!

I found a great article by David Warlick on 2Cents Worth he stated very interesting ideas on questioning our students. Check out his article link..... Are You Asking Dead Questions?

It is very interesting to read about the type of questions we as educators should be asking our students. He points out great ideas about starting off a question by taking small steps and then eventually leading into higher level thinking questions. These types of questions will encourage students to promote classroom discussions that students will be able to enjoy. He also discussed a reverse method about teaching History. Warlick along with other educators feel to teach History, we should begin in the present and then proceed to discuss the past.

Bottom line, if we want our students to ask questions and become activley involved in our lessons, we need gain the focus by asking questions that will lead to bigger and greater questions.
