This document discusses effective questioning strategies in the classroom. It suggests that the best strategy is for teachers to script questions before class rather than relying on impromptu questions. Several reasons for questioning students are provided, including developing critical thinking skills. The document also discusses how fewer, higher-order questions can lead to deeper student understanding compared to more superficial questions. Teachers are prompted to come up with 3 higher-order questions about an upcoming story and consider classroom activities to explore those questions in more depth.
