Steps for planning questions
- Decide on your goal or purpose for asking questions.
- Select the content for questioning.
- Ask questions that require an extended response or at least a “content” answer.
- Until you are quite skilled at classroom questioning you should write your main questions in advance.
How do you engage students with questions?
Avoid answering your own question by giving students a few seconds to form a good answer. Engage other students by having them answer the question of one of their peers. It has been shown that students can learn from other students if given the opportunity to do so.
