Activity
Use your
e-diary to record your thoughts on
the questions you use in class.
1. Write down 10 questions that you
have recently asked during lessons.
2. Next to each question on your list,
write down your reason for asking that question. Remember
to include a short description of the subject, grade
and topic to let the others see your lesson in context.
Send your list of questions and reasons via emai to
the group.
3. Read other people's reasons
for asking questions. Which kinds of questions are used
most often by teachers in your group?
We recommended
that you read Why
we ask questions in class in order to learn about
questions that make learners think.
4. Now that you are more aware
of the questions that you and your group members ask,
think about the following questions:
- Which of these types of questions encourage thinking?
- How often do we use questions
which encourage children to think?
5.
We recommend that you read more about
open and closed questions in order to distinguish
between the two.
Which of your questions
were closed? Which were open?
6. Write down one idea for improving your questioning
techniques. Send your idea
to your group. Read other people's ideas and comment
on at least two of them. It will help you to think further
about your teaching when you share your ideas with your
group.
