Question Depth Levels

Generated questions span multiple thinking levels:

• Recall -- What happened? What does this term mean?
• Understanding -- Why does this matter? How would you explain this?
• Application -- How could you use this in a different situation?
• Analysis -- What patterns do you notice? How are these connected?
• Evaluation -- Do you agree? What evidence supports your view?
• Creation -- What would you design? How could this be improved?

Use Cases

• Class discussions -- Structured prompts for whole-class or small-group conversations
• Socratic seminars -- Higher-order thinking questions for student-led discussion
• Journal prompts -- Written reflection starters
• Assessment preparation -- Practice thinking through open-ended questions

Tips

• Mix depth levels -- Start with recall questions to build confidence, then move to analysis and evaluation
• Use the follow-up prompts -- They help you push the conversation when students give surface-level answers
• Adapt to your class -- Edit questions to reference examples, texts, or experiences your students know
