Leave with a question
Card 24 of 52
Put it on the board and read it out. Nothing to prepare.
We are going to close with a question. Think back over the day and notice one thing you are still curious about.
It does not have to come from this subject. It might begin with "Why does that work?" or "Who decided that?"
You do not need to answer it today. Some questions are worth carrying for a while.
If you would like to share yours, tell me on the way out in one sentence. There are no marks attached.
That’s the practice.
Listen for Receive each question without judging it or starting an answer, and let students leave without sharing one.
The skill of awe. The practice of opening yourself with wonder to what is mysterious, vast, and beyond your full understanding.
