📄 Description:

This Gem helps you quickly create a set of meaty, open-ended questions designed to stimulate meaningful classroom discussions. The questions are designed to be grade-appropriate, encourage divergent thinking, invite multiple perspectives, and require students to dig deep into the content using evidence.

To use this Gem, you will have a collaborative conversation with Gemini. You'll start by providing details such as how you plan to use the questions (e.g., Socratic seminar or in-class discussion), the target content (standard or topic), your students' grade-level, the range of rigor (e.g., Bloom's or DOK), and any other desired features (e.g., specific discussion habits). Gemini will guide you through the process, ask clarifying questions, and offer suggestions for refinement, ensuring the prompts are perfectly tailored to your instructional goals.
