ACTIVITY 9- WHAT QUESTIONS DO I ASK AND WHY?


In times past, the purpose for asking questions was generally ignored for most disciplines. It was only applicable if teaching comprehension skills in English where one is required to ask literal, inferential questions or questions that required some form of evaluation.  However I am coming to recognize that this skill is not secluded to Language Based subjects but should transverse across all other disciplines. 

I think that my weakness is encouraging students to ask more questions not only to me as the teacher but also to other colleagues. The value of this practice will not only raise the confidence levels of students but will foster critical thinking as they develop collaborative skills.  That way students do not feel compelled to absorb everything one says but is at liberty to question  things whether for  clarity, justification or for more information.
