Follow a Logical Sequence:
There are many different ways to sequence questions. Some teachers prefer to start with an essential question and work their way from larger concepts to the specific mechanics of a text. Others prefer to first establish meaning through close reading and then expand analysis to broader ideas presented in the text. The important thing is for the questions to follow a logical sequence so that ideas build on each other rather than seeming random.
