1. The ABC of questioning

2. Answer, build, challenge
Once a week I incorporate a 15 minute questioning session into a lesson
I pre-plan 5/6 higher order open questions using Blooms as a guide if needed

3. Example questions Evaluate which drug is the most dangerous Predict what would happen if there was no more sun on earth
Answer = 1 point
Build = 2 points
Challenge = 3 points

5. Objectives Key questions are generated prior to the lesson
Allows for contribution from all abilities
Promotes competition between similar ability students especially higher end
Allows for me to see which students are not engaging in the questioning sessions so can I consciously direct questions at other points in the lesson towards these students
