They are hard-wired to complex complex puzzles and address questions. So it makes sense to raise challenging questions to help students engage with and apply facts. Jared Diamond won a Pulitzer Prize when he asked: "Why were Europeans, rather than Africans, or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel?" Answers to most questions will not win national prizes, but students understand deeply what they question most. So inquiring teachers can help students learn more through posing key questions. Questions motivate learners to ask, wonder and discover in order to know.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4C10DF12-CC7D-47CC-899F-3BC2A789A4EF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
