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? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Maybe you could have the students write the answers to your questions. This might get their brain "working" and allow them to begin thinking more deeply about the question. Once they begin writing they can see how little or how much they know about what you are asking them.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Writing the answers is a great solution! It gets them thinking without having to say things out loud and feel embarrassed.
