Lower Order Questions:

  • Who founded abstract art?
  • Name three Romantic authors.
  • Whose signatures appear on the Declaration of Independence?
  • In what year did the war begin?
  • Who wrote your text?

Higher Order Questions:

  • What conclusions can you reach concerning the images Shakespeare uses to portray death?
  • What forces motivated Romantic authors?
  • Why did no females or African Americans sign the Declaration of Independence?
  • Was this a good idea?  Why or why not?
  • What does this poem mean to you?

Caution
There is nothing wrong with asking lower order questions, but there should be a balance of both higher order and lower order questions for effective learning to occur in the classroom.
