✍ Question Formulation

  1. Ask as many questions as you can.
  2. Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer any of the questions.
  3. Write down every question exactly as it was stated.
  4. Change any statements into questions.

After you have finished listing all of your groups questions, go through and rewrite any closed questions as open questions.
