A series of answers

An older post I came across...found it in drafts... 

Thinking about thinking again...came across this post from The Core Knowledge Blog

If we only...view school work as a series of answers.

Sometimes I think that we are so eager to get to answers, that time for students to develop questions is overlooked.

But it’s the question that draws interest; draws action; draws thinking.

Simply supplying answers to questions someone else devises, is it enough?

So, how do we design learning for students to frame questions that extract desired content with enough difficulty to keep students engaged, but not frustrated?  

Quite a question...
