    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

    Remember to follow these rules when you begin asking questions!

    THINK: What might be difficult in following those 4 rules? Use the Add Comment chat box icon for this post, if you'd like to share a thought. Add your first and last initial after any comments that you make.

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. 

    Then, edit your post using the pencil symbol and in the "write something" section, next to your initials, label it C or O.

    THINK: What are the advantages and disadvantages of asking each type of question? (optional) Use the Add Comment chat box icon for this post, if you'd like to share an advantage or disadvantage you see for Open and/or Closed questions.  Add your first and last initial after any comments that you make.
