We are so fortunate to have small class sizes so that we can have the students interact with "good" questions. I feel that when I taught the Read 180 class, that my best question before reading a new book, or short passage was "Has anyone experienced anything like this?" Usually I would have one student respond to this question. Then this would lead to another person adding and so forth. This was great because we haven't even read anything yet.
As far as students asking those wonderful questions like, how long does this paper have to be? I just started telling students what you think it should be. When I responded this way most of the students wrote alot while others just wrote the bare minimum. I think that the more we keep encouraging students and letting them be self-motivators we will have very successful students.
