from closed to open questions

In what year did Chevrolet introduce the small block chevy V8 engine
What was the impact on the racing and hotrod industry after its introduction ?

Robert,

These are good sample questions. The second one will inspire a good discussion.

I find that going from a closed question to an open question spurs conversation and interest with the rest of the class.

Timothy,

This makes the class more interactive and the students appreciate this a lot.

I also like the technique mentioned in the "Tips" portion of the online course of starting with a closed question, then following it up by simply adding "Why?" or "How does that work?"

Laura,

This is probing and it works wonderfully to help students respond and get others involved.
