__**Question**__

What are some ways that you can integrate the use of questioning into your classroom and student projects? Students need to justify and support answers to opinion questions. Answering "why" and "how" are not enough to develop deeper thinkers. “Thought is not merely expressed in words; it comes into existence through them” (p. 218). Talking helps people think and it helps students learn to think." Teachers need to follow-up with appropriate feedback, assessment, and instruction Students can use K-W-L to assess their own learning Environment where students feel safe and comfortable asking questions Metacognition where students answer questions about their own learning
