Part IIII Exercises and Discussion

  ☆ Exercise to sensitize your questioning techniques.

  1 Write on the board a list of 5 or 6 prominent people that everyone knows. Some of these people should be the subject of current controversy.

  2 Write a question of each type (see reasons for asking questions at the beginning of this unit) and address each of your questions to one of the people you have listed.

  3 Now grade their questions for levels of delicacy on a scale 1 - 5, with 5 being the most delicate.

  4 Check their questions for the appropriateness of their style - are they open or closed; direct or indirect? Adjust the phrasing of the questions to suit the level of delicacy.

  5 Lets discuss the results.

  ☆ Give examples of situations where open/closed types of questions are generally asked.
