On the Guiding Questions?

Guiding questions are questions provided to students, either in writing or spoken verbally, while they are working on a task. Asking guiding questions allows students to move to higher levels of thinking by providing more open-ended support that calls students' attention to key details without being prescriptive.

What is a good guided question?

First, good guiding questions are open ended, yet focus inquiry on a specific topic. For example, "Whose America is it?" is a good guiding question to explore American culture.

What is the purpose of guiding questions?

The purpose of a guiding question is to prompt exploration of an idea in depth. To write your guiding questions, you will need to do some initial research in order to have a focus to create questions that are applicable to your topic.
