How you plan to question differently? 

I would select a few ways that I have learned and then use it in a different way for example let me take the first one of my choice, Bounce question around, this is an interesting way to engage the learners as well as to keep them enthusiastic till the end. Instead of the teacher asking the questions I would prefer each table selecting a topic as well as a leader who can ask questions to the group. This helps them to be prepared to discuss the topic in a wider range and share their ideas well with the group. This  in turn give the students nice opportunity to frame questions spontaneously and it’s a challenge for the other groups as well, because they need to assure their performance to outfit the previous group. Undoubtedly learning happens with the active participation from each group.  


The next type of questioning which I prefer to use is a Self-Pair-Group   questionnaire, here after the discussion of a particular topic, the teacher gives some time to the whole class and gives everybody a chance to frame two or three questions that they would like to pose to their partners. After they have asked the questions to their partners they can deduct two questions which they find it difficult to answer or a challenge question, here the question is framed as a pair work. Now each pair can question the other pair and again get one or two common question from the group which they can keep ready to shoot at the other group. This strategy helps to give more clarity and understanding of the topic learned.
