• don’t discuss, judge or answer the
questions

stated
• change any statement into a
question
sort questions by “googleable”
and “un-googleable”
swap lists and change at least
one “compelling” to
“supporting” & vice-versa
think
“supporting” &
“compelling”
sort questions by “googleable”
and “un-googleable”
swap lists and change at least
one “compelling” to
“supporting” & vice-versa
prioritize the “compelling”
use the “compelling” to: 

• plan next steps
• guide learning
• ensure alignment to
standards and benchmarks
Question
Focus
examples?
Question Focus: 

• clear focus
• not a question
• stimulates new lines of thinking
• doesn’t show teacher preference

Today we are free.”
“The only reason we found King Tut
was because he was too hard to find.”
