*ABOUT GOOD QUESTIONS:
Open-ended: Questions are designed to elicit multiple perspectives. Numerous answers can be correct as long as the students stay on topic. Thought-provoking: To start, questions should spark numerous responses. Then, they should challenge students to evaluate and synthesize their ideas. Clear: Participants should be able to understand right away what the facilitator is asking. This means phrasing questions carefully to keep them short and simple, even when the topic is complex. Questions for Written Preparation & Definite Discussion
