write discussion questions You may (and I encourage you to) include several sub-questions as part of one question. You can extend your question as much as you want, especially if you need to clarify what you mean. Guidelines for writing discussion questions: •Your questions should be directed toward your classmates These should come from your engagement with the readings and should stimulate an in-depth discussion. So, make sure your questions don’t just have yes/no or other right/wrong answers. Think of questions that will allow you to hear other students’ ideas, thoughts, and perspectives on the readings. And yes, I invite you to ask controversial questions and raise points that may cause disagreement, too! Those are the most interesting! Try to “think outside the book.” That is, make sure you are thinking critically Dive into the grey area! Your questions should demonstrate your critical thinking
