In order to facilitate good classroom discussions, teachers consider how questions guide students. Using Dewey’s “art of questioning,” select a social studies discussion topic and the grade level of your “students.” Script several good

What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include an explanation and sample questions within Dewey’s art of questioning principles (p. 79). These are 1) questions should not elicit fact upon fact but should be asked in a way to delve deeper into a topic, 2) questions should emphasize person interpretation rather than literal responses, 3) questions should not be asked randomly so that each is an end in itself, 4) teachers should periodically review important points, and 5) the conclusion of the question-asking sequence should leave the children with a sense of accomplishment.
