Guided inquiry is by far my favorite way to teach a lesson! Questions are such a good way to help students learn. It is amazing to me sometimes how a student will aleady know the answer to something but they still ask the question. My student that I am tutoring will ask me questions and in turn I ask him a related question and he ALWAYS figures it out. In my opinion students should always be taught through guided inqury.
         A past teacher that I had used this method with us and we absolutely hated every assignment until the end. We would fuss and complain how she just wouldn't tell us the answer and she only gave us hints in a round about way and it frustrated us to no end. The funny thing is that at the end of that class, I looked back and realized how interested and motivated I was to find those answers. I honestly learned so much from that teacher because of her teaching strategy.
        The section in the chapter that mostly caught my attention was the higher order questions. Although it has never been required of us to use blooms within our lessons, I have always tried to use questions that followed the levels of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. My mother is an elementary teacher and this was just a little tip that she gave me. Throughout the few lessons that I have taught in a clinical setting, those questions have been very effective and beneficial to the lesson. Not only does it require students to think for themselves, it initiates discussion.

What are some questioning techniques or examples for a social studies lesson?
