• Ask questions that fill time because you are not prepared for the lesson or activity
• Follow the questions in the textbook word for word—be strong—use your own ideas
• Isolate questioning skills and teach them as a separate curriculum
• Ask only short-answer questions that result in one right answer
• Ask questions just to find out what students DON”T know
• Ridicule a student for an unusual, creative response
• Ask questions that are embarrassing to the student
• Limit your responses to “yes,” “no,” great,” “good”
• Give up—good questioning takes practice
• Be so serious—lighten up—have some fun
• Ever say, “Wrong! Who knows the answer?”
• ANSWER YOUR OWN QUESTIONS!
• Ask questions when you are very angry
• Be judgmental.
(Johnson, 1990, p. 9).
