Question

[4]. Passage: A teacher who asks good questions does more than test memory; she shows students how to think. A question like 'Why might this character act this way?' forces a reader to weigh motives, while 'What happened next?' only asks for recall. Classrooms that mix both kinds — recall to secure facts, and reasoning questions to use them — build a habit of asking before answering. The danger is a classroom where only recall is rewarded: students then learn to wait for the answer instead of searching for it. A classroom rewarding only recall teaches students to:

1.
Debate motives
2.
Wait for the answer instead of searching for it
3.
Think independently
4.
Ask better questions
