Complex Thinking Prompts
Guest User
“Planning a lesson that uses all four of the following types of questions can transform classroom questions into analytic tasks that require students to think at increasingly complex levels.”
– Robert Marzano
Four types of questions:
Details – ask questions of students for recall or recognize details
Characteristics – move the focus to the general characteristics of the topic being studied
Elaborations – ask students to elaborate on the characteristics of and elements within a category
Evidence – questions require students to provide support or evidence for their elaborations
