I found Exemplary Classroom Questioning quite compelling as I have been visiting classrooms of late where the issues of questioning students, structuring questioning , anticipating possible responses, and dealing with unexpected responses have become crucial in shaping a more effective lesson. Classroom questioning has emerged as an unexplored area in lessons that needs explicit attention and examination. This book solves the problem for me.
