Questions … How was school today? and more …

I just read Will Richardson’s blog post about his children starting at a new school. He has high hopes for an authentic education for his children at this new school.

He said that he wanted to be sure to ask his kids more interesting questions than the usual “How was school today?” or “What did you do at school today?”

After reading Part 1of his (never ending, I assume) list of questions to ask his children, I decided the questions should be made into posters.

I have not had enough time to make them all. Perhaps some of you will make some even more interesting and thought provoking posters as well.

Here are the beginning questions of a continually expanding list of questions Will wants to ask them:

What did you make today that was meaningful?

What did you learn about the world?

Who are you working with?

What surprised you?

What did your teachers make with you?

What did you teach others?

What unanswered questions are you struggling with?

How did you change the world in some small (or big) way?

What’s something your teachers learned today?

What did you share with the world?

What do you want to know more about?

What did you love about today?

What made you laugh?

What questions do you ask your students and your children when the day is over?
