The Religion Curriculum
It starts with a question…
Once the question is formed, before it is asked, pause, consider the question and whether or not it will lead to a quest. Will (your) pupils set sail on a voyage of discovery or stay anchored in the harbour?
Sometimes the harbour is a safe option, the option most suited to a child’s particular learning style. However few adventures ever take place in the safety of the harbour. A skilful questioner leads the learner on a journey from the harbour out into the open sea! Lisa Fenton
