Discussion Questions & Speaking Prompts
I’ve used open discussion questions in my classes since I began my teaching career. Somewhere along the line, I realised it would have been a good idea to write them down and save them for later. That is, in a nutshell, what this page is. I’ve divided my questions into categories. Hope they spark some conversation in your classroom.
