I'm trying to remember that it's about the engagement and experience with the reading, writing, thinking, not about a product.C.

Today, we're going to rank their questions for importance, talk about what makes a "good" question, and write as exploration of the questions.

You might offer the <a href="http://www.storycorps.org/record-your-story/question-generator/list/" rel="nofollow">Great Questions List"</a> from Storycorps as a resource for your students as they interview each other and search for good, open-ended questions to ask each other.<br /><br />Good luck with your cleaner and less cluttered approach to blogging, learning and teaching. That's a tall order but I'm sure you can do it! I'll look forward to continuing to follow along.Wesley Fryerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03502157354436518160noreply@blogger.com
