[Complex questions bind information to a network of ideas rather than isolated facts. This improves memory by creating a multitude of connections between ideas.]

[Complex questions encourage problem-solving skills such as goal decomposition.]

[A teacher's role in question-driven instruction is not to impart knowledge but to help students construct knowledge themselves by seeking, evaluating, and integrating different sources of information. The teacher can model best practices without stealing the students' opportunity to engage in them.]

[Good teachers ask good questions at the right time.]

Stimulating curiosity has an aspect of listening, timing, rhythm, performance, music.

[Self-explainers generate inferences that fill missing information and connect to their own knowledge.]

[Ineffective readers take no time to interpret the text: they merely paraphrase or re-read and are learning instead of learning from.]

[Good self-explainers continuously monitor their comprehension and test whether they can explain how something fits into the larger picture.]

[How does this fit what I know and what I have read so far?]

[1) use your own words. 2) focus on how and why instead of what/where/when 3) connect incoming ideas to prior knowledge.]

[How are X and Y similar? What would happen if…? How does X connect to Z which I learned before?]

[A good questions relies on an integrated model rather than disparate facts.]
