A part that stood out to me in this chapter was when he discussed how we process questions. During our meeting with the state department, he told us that the biggest mistake most teachers make is not giving enough time for students to really process a question. Maybe this is why teachers tend to ask easier questions. They want quick answers so they can keep on moving, but it would be more beneficial to the students to have time to think through a complex question.
I especially liked the last little paragraph in this chapter telling us to share with our students that we are learning to teach through questions. It says to encourage students to help develop a plan for learning. I always think that the more the students get involved the more they will learn and get excited about learning!
