ccti-Module1-Activity 9-Questioning

I have been in classes where the teachers ask only recall questions and wondered why.  A teacher needs to be very conversant with their subject matter to feel comfortable asking questions at a higher level.  I think it is also a good idea for teachers to allow students to ask questions too.  In my son's religion class the students must generate the discussion questions.  They are not allowed to ask trecall questions.  It takes some time to read and understand the text but it develops their thinking skills.
