Prensky Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Planning (Content to Questions, Questions to Skills

Guiding questions are key to successful partnering! There are many good ways to guide a student to success. It is very important to guide students to the information and learning that they need, The partnering pedagogy is all about asking questions the students before they learn the content rather than after they learn it. The questions should be answered by the content of the lessons. As a teacher we should always begin with formulating a series of guiding questions for students to answer. Good guiding questions should ask why followed up by a how. The questions should be formulated by the students so that they have an interest in what they are learning. The key is for us as teachers to RELATE to our students through our guiding questions and content!
