The points students bring up are thought-provoking. However, I'm most impressed by the questions they ask one another. They clarify and ask follow-up questions. They make inferences. They ask connecting questions and critical thinking questions. It's a messy process, but it's beautiful messy. It's art.

TeachPaperless: 10 Ways to Help Students Ask Better Questions - 1 views
-
-
As long as a question is respectful, I want students to question their world. This applies to analyzing mathematical processes, thinking through social issues, making sense out of a text or analyzing the natural world for cause and effect.
-
I require students to ask questions before, during and after reading.
- ...7 more annotations...
-
Three times a week, we do inquiry days, where students begin with their own question in either social studies or science and they research it, summarize it and then ask further questions. While my initial goal involved teaching bias, loaded language and summarization, I soon realized that students were growing the most in their ability to ask critical thinking questions.
-
Feedback on questions: I highlight their questions in Google Docs and leave comments on their blogs with very specific feedback.
-
Sometimes I'll ask a really lame question and then say, "Someone tell my why that question sucked?" or I'll ask a deeper question and say, "Why was that a hard question to answer?" The goal is to get them to see deeper questions and to also think about why a question is deep or shallow.
-
Some students have a really hard time with questioning strategies.
-
I teach students about inquiry, clarifying, critical thinking and inference questioning.
-
Students sometimes ask me questions. Other times they ask partners or small group questions. Still other times they ask the questions to the whole class.
-
Technology allows students to take their time in crafting a question while having access to the questions of their peers.

The website uses various links at the bottom of the first page, so that viewer can get a better understand of the website. It also provides the company's contact details at the top right and bottom of the page, making it really easy for someone who wants to quickly look at some important data and then contact the company for more detailed information.

The main page has a very strong impression on the viewer as it provides a very detailed information about six main outlines on the top of the first page and can be really helpful.
-
-
By " Impression", I mean to say that the website impresses the viewer by providing almost all the required information under six main outlines on the front page. These "Drop down" boxes give an impression of a good website.

The background is very simple that it gets boring looking at a white with some gray colors. perhaps the bank wants to transfer this image to its costumer, that this site is professional and only for business and acquiring information.
-
-
-
Now we have to remember that this site in only for Canada and Canadian costumers. After my visits to multiple sites from different countries I noticed the differences in the layout of the home page. Maybe its a strategy that the bank takes to make whats proper for users in different countries and have the services available for each country presented differently in each website for them.
-
-
One of the leading banks in the world, it has many branches world wide centered in London, U.K. I believe this bank has given time and effort in creating this website and took care of all details to meet with the high standard this bank claims.

Leona, the Radiant Dawn has marched her way into the League of Legends. Heavily armored and armed to the teeth, Leona is far from the delicate flower. As a staunch defender of her allies, you’re likely to find her leading the charge, a Solar Flare ready to light up your life! Along with her standard resplendent regalia, Leona’s wardrobe changes include a more pragmatic Defender look and her lighter, more agile Valkyrie armor. Whether you’re fresh off the battlefield or ready to rise again, we’ve got an exciting look for the occasion. And don’t forget that you can pick up the Defender Leona bundle and save 50% off your skin purchase. Or if you’re a high roller, however, you can save big on both Defender Leona and Valkyrie Leona in the Leona Double Bundle!

Economical appeals to your logic as when making new decisions you usually decide what is the most cost effective way. You dont want to buy a new product if its going to cost more than what you already pay.
-
-
If you can smell fragrance on your clothes when you get them out of the dryer, you are using too much detergent
-
Overuse of laundry detergent is not only wasteful and expensive, but very harmful to our environment and our health.
-
Logic as "using too much detergent is expensive", and emotion appeal as using too much is bad for the environment, and you using too much is the reason.
-
-
The Solution: A big step forward in removing harmful chemicals from your home, body and environment is going detergent-free. After washing a fabric a few times with SmartKlean, you can completely eliminate all traces of detergent. With SmartKlean there is no need for laundry detergents, fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Our laundry ball is designed to wash effectively, leave clothes soft and leave zero residues behind on clothes and linens. For those with skin sensitivities or conditions such as eczema, SmartKlean is ideal. It is important to note that even the trusted eco-friendly, hypoallergenic laundry detergents may contain SLS and SLES and other harsh chemicals. In addition, many soaps found in grocery stores contain additives that can still cause skin irritations. Although there are safer alternatives such as true soap, the easiest to use and by far the most economic choice for cleaning laundry is the SmartKlean Laundry Ball.
-
Because it lists in the previous paragraphs what is wrong with normal soaps, promoting this alternative option appeals to character as this company product must be good because it doesnt do all the harmful things that were listed before.
-
-
Then there’s eczema. Throughout the world, many people suffer from this condition. In the US over one billion dollars a year is spent trying to fight its effects. Sadly, many of these are children. 90% of eczema sufferers experience symptoms before they reach the age of 5. A common type of eczema, ‘irritant contact dermatitis’, develops after frequent exposure to a mild irritants such as detergent.
-
appeals to logic by telling you facts about a problem that is caused by too much irritants
-
-
The Problem: Regular laundry detergents leave residue in your clothes and linens each time they are washed. It is easy to verify this by smelling them. After eight washes, two percent of a garment’s weight comes from detergent residue. For people with skin sensitivities, this residue can not only cause severe skin irritations, but can also cause fabric to stiffen when it dries. Because of this, fabric softener is used to lubricate the fibers in order to make the fabric move freely again. Although it takes care of the itchy, stiff fabric, it only adds to the pile of chemical residues.
-
appeals to logic, as it gives you examples of what you have experienced at home. also appeals to emotion as you are becoming aware of the true cause and harmful effect of what you experience in laundry
-

“It really works! I have been using mine for about a month now and it gets the laundry clean and fresh smelling without any added detergent
