As teachers, it is very important for us to know how to ask effective questions. In the classroom, questions are asked everyday to make sure that the student understand material. The Right Way to Ask Questions in the Classroom article stated, “Some teachers might answer that the reason to ask questions is to check for understanding, which benefits the teacher more than the student.”

When having group discussion, low risk questions are the best to ask because they have no right or wrong answer. Also, students benefit from answering easier questions before difficult ones.
