Creating Authentic Questions

What is an Authentic Question??

I am now going to read chapter 1 of a book, Bud, Not Buddy By: Christopher Paul Curtis, upon reading we are going to be creating our own authentic questions as a group.

Authentic Questions: questions generated and prompted spontaneously by learners, not by instructors, in response to natural curiosity about the content of study.

The most powerful of all questions, these are questions where the inquirer genuinely has no idea what the answer is. In fact, the question may have multiple right answers, no right answers, or no answers at all.
