Design Discussion Questions That Deepen Student Thinking

Description

Generate ten cognitively sequenced discussion questions with probing follow-ups that promote dialogue, reasoning, and misconception repair. This mini-course is built around the Discussion Questions Generator for Classroom Engagement, a guided AI assistant that asks focused questions one at a time before creating ten age-appropriate discussion questions progressing through Bloom’s Taxonomy, each with a targeted follow-up prompt.

You will learn how to prepare a topic or text, grade level, learning goals, student context, and known misconceptions or sensitive issues. The course shows you how to respond to the assistant’s guided workflow, keep the conversation focused, and shape the output around your real educational context.

By the end, you will be able to use ChatGPT to produce ten age-appropriate discussion questions progressing through Bloom’s Taxonomy, each with a targeted follow-up prompt, then evaluate it for cognitive progression, student-to-student interaction, open-ended reasoning, real-world relevance, and misconception awareness. You will leave with a repeatable process that can be adapted to future tasks while keeping professional judgment in the loop.
