  Case: Questioning
In depth questioning is something that is a must in my classroom, especially with the inception of testing that ask students to think more deeply. My problem is that when I ask those high order thinking questions student just sit there with blank stares and no one responses. When I then ask the question in a different form I feel that I am just "dumbing" down the question and the purpose is lost. What are some things I can do to increase my questioning depth without "losing" the students?

I had this problem earlier this year. I too incorporated vocabulary into my lessons more, but I also had to backtrack and starts with a little at a time. For example, I asked and answered my own question, but had my students help find the evidence/proof. This kind of introduced them to using the text to understand the question better.

Comments: The idea of answering your own question as a teacher allows students to see you think through a higher order question. By having them find evidence of why your answer is correct or incorrect is a great way to introduce the concept of pulling details and evidence from a text.

Comments: This is a great idea. This way the students feel like they are learning something and they are not just sitting there not knowing what the question means.
