Pose a question to your classmates. This should not be a question that merely seeks clarification on procedural matters, for example. It needs to be a meaningful question that demonstrates critical thinking on your part.
There are several different types of questions, including:
1. Closed/Open
2. Shallow and Deep
3. Leading
4. Thinking/Rhetorical
5. Fixed and Emergent
6. Clarifying and Explanatory
You can look these up on the internet. Here’s a short link to some of them: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_88.htm
Here’s another source. They may seem a bit elementary (used with children), but should give you an idea of how to get started. https://www.hunschool.org/resources/questions-for-critical-thinking
And here’s a source that begins to bring it all together. https://www.brown.edu/sheridan/teaching-learning-resources/teaching-resources/classroom-practices/learning-contexts/discussions/questions-critical-thinking
When formulating your question, remember that the aim is to uncover new ideas, not cover the old ones.
