An Annotation by Laurie Walsh

The author reviews six questioning formats that call for higher-order thinking processes: analysis, comparison, description, evaluation, fiction, and problem solving- and provides a list of the thinking strategies used and specific examples for each.  The article includes a wonderful chart connecting the thinking skills and Bloom’s Taxonomy.  This is a meaningful overview of questioning.
