    • 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. 
    Review the questions that you asked. Find at least one that you believe is closed-ended  and change the background color to pink and at least one that you believe is open-ended and change the background color to green. 

    THINK: What are the advantages and disadvantages of asking each type of question? Add a comment, if you'd like to share an advantage or disadvantage you see for Open and/or Closed questions.  Add your first and last name after any comments that you make.
