Chapter 5: Essential Questions: Doorways to Understanding

This chapter made me think a lot about something that is very common inside the classroom. Questions are extremely important. According to my experience as student and teacher trainee I can firmely say that Questions are a really useful tool to make students think and participate. When teacher asks something studens know that their are expected to answer, and they start thinking on the posible answers. That it's very helpful for their minds, because they work them out. Apart from that, I also think that through Questions students can actually prove what the know. That makes them feel comfortable, because many times students need teacher's approval as an incentive.
Moreover, Questioning make students reflect on different things, and that is very important, because in that way apart from developing reflection they develope curiosity and understanding.
