What Not to Say

The section titled "What Not To Say" was awesome. I haven't really thought of asking students this question in my lessons but now that I've read this section it makes a lot of sense. I was impressed with this instructor's use of the question. Using a table with data represented is a good item to use for basic data comprehension but asking students to identify what that table doesn't say takes critical thinking to a higher level. I think that this question would be great for individuals or groups to discuss.

I really enjoyed it too, especially fake quiz, its sad how easy it is to fall into the trap of using these kinds of questions and ruining our lessons.
