Open-ended Questions

Help!!

 

I have some teaching assistants who work throughout the primary age range and when they are with me in Reception they are finding it hard to ask children open-ended questions. I am trying to compile a list of good open-ended questions to be used generically which I can stick up around the classroom so that when other staff/myself are working with children individually or in a group they are easily accessible. Does anybody have such a list or know of one or shall I write it myself?

Easy peasy.

 

(1) Where are my glasses?

(2) Why am I working through the night (again) to get an assignment finished?

(3) When will I get my act together?

 

Answers on a postcard please...
