Critical thinking lesson 3: Open-ended questions · Set 452 · 40 questions

Thinking tip (Open the door to ideas): Closed: “Is today Monday?”, “Can birds fly?”, “Did you go on the trip?” — yes or no is enough. Open: “Why do you think the river is dirty?”, “How do birds find their way home?”, “What would happen if there were no trees?” Turn closed into open by starting with why or how: “Do you like it?” → “Why do you like it?”
