 In question and answer, the teacher asks three kinds of questions. The first kind of question is about the facts of the story or text. The second kind of question makes the students think about the lesson. And the third kind of question helps the students relate the lesson to their own lives. Let's look at one example where a teacher used all three types of questions within the lesson. Think of the story of the three little pigs. The teacher can start by asking the questions about the facts. For example, what did the three little pigs build their houses out of? And a student could say, hmm, straw, sticks, and bricks. And that would be correct. That's a factual question. Then the teacher asks questions that require deeper thinking, like, how did the three little pigs feel when the wolf couldn't blow down that brick house? And the students might say, oh, the pigs felt happy or they felt safe. The third level of questioning would then ask a question that relates to the students' lives, like, if you didn't feel safe, what could you do? Or what things would you use to build a house out of so the wolf couldn't blow it down? The first kind of question is about the facts of the story or text. The second kind of question makes the students think about the lesson. And the third kind of question helps the students relate the lesson to their own lives.
