Step 2: Practicing with Questions

Think about the list of characteristics of Critical Questions from the previous activities and the example curriculum-framing questions. Use these characteristics and models to help determine which of the following are Critical Questions. Check "Yes," "No," or “Maybe” after each one. Some of these questions could be used in a variety of ways—a question is defined as Critical, Focus, or Content in large part by how it is used in the classroom. Discuss in a small group any questions that could go either way—and why.
