Ask Probing Questions LITERACY · 7TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A probing question digs beneath a first answer to reach reasoning, evidence, or an assumption. Where a closed question gets a fact, a probing question asks what makes you say that, what would change your mind, or how does that compare with the other case. Wait after asking, because the useful silence is longer than most people are comfortable with and filling it prevents the thinking you asked for. Probing is not interrogating: the tone should signal curiosity, since a question that sounds like a trap gets a defensive answer rather than a thoughtful one. In discussion, the best probing question is often a repetition of the speaker's own key word with a question mark, which invites them to define it. Questions: 1 What does a probing question ask for? 2 Why should you wait after asking? 3 How does probing differ from interrogating? www.littleactivity.com 7th Grade · Literacy
