Understanding Levels of Questioning

The video tutorial explains the three levels of questioning used in classroom discussions, such as Socratic seminars and fishbowls. Level one questions are factual and explicit, not promoting discussion. Level two questions require analysis and interpretation, encouraging diverse opinions. Level three questions are open-ended, tied to real-world issues, and promote deep philosophical discussions. Examples from literature are provided to illustrate each level.
