 * 1) **Ask as many questions as you can.** This lets students know it is OK to ask and keep asking. While this may be initially intimidating for many students, we've found that most become excited and engaged with this new opportunity to drive their own learning.
 * 2) **Do not stop to discuss, critique, or answer any question.** This keeps the generative process moving, and creates a safe space to raise questions without judgment. Neither you, nor your students, can know what's worth discussing until they've had the opportunity to produce as many questions as possible.
 * 3) **Write down every question exactly as it is stated.** As with rule two, this ensures that all voices are respected and heard in your classroom. One step further: it also eliminates the tendency for teachers to over-scaffold, rephrase students' questions, and essentially do the thinking for students.
 * 4) **Change any statement into a question.** Students often //think// they are asking a question when they've stated something they want to know more about. This rule challenges students to practice discipline in phrasing, asking, and thinking in questions—not statements.
