Here's our Wallwisher with our questions:

Questioning Skills

Here in Room 1 we are continuing to try and develop ourselves as better questioners. We are using Bloom's Taxonomy to help us think of broader questions.

http://villageofjoy.com/50-strange-buildings-of-the-world/

If you have any suggestions of deeper questions we could ask please feel free to comment and let us know.
