Sorry about my lack of postings for the past few days. I had hardly any time to blog. School has just started and the CCA trials are on. Anyway, today, my Language Arts teacher asked us to find out about "Socratic Questions".
"Socratic Questioning is disciplined questioning that can be used to pursue thought in many directions and for many purposes, including: to explore complex ideas, to get to the truth of things, to open up issues and problems, to uncover assumptions, to analyze concepts, to distinguish what we know from what we don’t know, and to follow out logical implications of thought."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_questioning)
As you can see from the quote above (I hope I'm not plagiarising), Socratic questioning is pretty useful and is therefore used widely around the world in education. Socratic Questions are also named after Socrates (obviously), and he used to ask these questions to his pupils.
