Join me as I talk to Jeremy and Tara about Costa's Levels of Questioning. We discuss how to meet students where they are and engage them in their learning by teaching them how to write a good question using the Little Mermaid as a starting point. Exposing students to what it's like to be an engaged citizen and giving them practice and guidance helps empower students!
