Module 1 Activity 9

what questions we ask and why?

This activity really spoke to me, I use questioning as a strategy in my classroom very often so my ideas was polished after doing the readings. my high points of the reading  was basically about why we ask questions, i usually ask questions so students can think more and also to start a discussion, i learnt that we ask questions for a few more reasons than that, i accept the ideas and i can now ask more questions. I am accustom to use both close and open ended questions which i was reminded of in the readings and i would encourage all teachers to use both open and closed questions so that students recall would not be the only thing tested. questions need to be asked at all levels of  blooms taxonomy. I can basically summarize my thoughts by saying that questioning is a strategy that if used correctly, will enhance learning just like any other strategy used in the classroom.
