Step 1: Review the rules for asking questions 

# data[].attributes.subject
Step 1: Review the rules for asking questions 

# data[].attributes.body
1.     Ask as many questions as you can.

2.     Do not stop to discuss, judge or answer the questions.

3.     Write down every question exactly as it first comes to mind.

4.     Change any statements into a question.

THINK: What might be difficult in following those 4 rules? Add a comment to this post if you'd like to share.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Read questions that others have posted.

2. If you haven't yet, add at least one (or two!) new question(s) inspired by or building on a question that someone else posted.

3. Please put both your initials and the initials of the person who asked the original question in the Title section.

# data[].attributes.body
Review the questions that you asked. Find at least one to label “C” for closed-ended or and at least one to label “O” for open-ended.

Closed-ended: can be answered with “yes” or “no” or with one word.

Open-ended: require an explanation and cannot be answered with "yes”, “no”, or one word.

Edit your post, click on the ellipse and then, using the pencil symbol, label your question with C or O, next to your initials.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Read through all of the questions that have been posted. Pick the three questions that you feel most curious about.

2. Click on the heart icon at the bottom of a post to "vote" for it as a priority question.

3. THINK: What were your reasons for selecting those three?  (optional) Click on the Add Comment chat box icon on this post if you'd like to share your rationale and reflect on your choices. Don't forget to add your initials at the end of your comment!
