Salutations my disgruntled colleagues! We’re keeping it simple today. 7 questions for your students to contemplate during lesson.

1. How should I begin this task?
2. Is there anything that confuses me?
3. Can I explain this in my own words?
4. Do I need my teacher’s help?
5. Why did I make this mistake?
6. Can I use what I just learned somewhere else?
7. What can I improve next time?

Voila! Use these questions in class. Have your students think. Inspire them to own their learning process.
