Questions, questions, questions

It was interesting to see the process of the questioning strategy for generating ideas for research. As I read other questions and responses around the room, I started thinking about what I wanted to research. Initially, I was thinking of how to develop a workshop-based classroom (a community of writers), but now I'm not so sure. So many questions and ideas are once again swirling around in my head...argh.

On the flip-side, I can see how this can be useful for our own students when introducing the research process. Rather than having students pick a topic and write a thesis, have them pick a topic and ask a question about that topic. Then, put papers like this up around the room and have students comment on the question or ask other questions to help guide the students to the start of their research.

Lots of stuff to think about tonight as I try to come to terms with finishing my narrative and including the good, the bad, and the downright frightening.
