Make Just One Change

Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions

By: Dan Rothstein, Luz Santana, Wendy D. Puriefoy - foreword

Narrated by: Randye Kaye

The authors of Make Just One Change argue that formulating one's own questions is "the single most essential skill for learning" - and one that should be taught to all students.

They also argue that it should be taught in the simplest way possible. Drawing on 20 years of experience, the authors present the Question Formulation Technique, a concise and powerful protocol that enables learners to produce their own questions, improve their questions, and strategize how to use them.

Make Just One Change features the voices and experiences of teachers in classrooms across the country to illustrate the use of the Question Formulation Technique across grade levels and subject areas and with different kinds of learners.

Democracy

I loved this book until the last chapter. Please stick to education and don’t get political. The United States is not a democracy. We have a Constitutional government and everyone has the right to ask questions, certainly through social media and their representatives.

Great Content - AWFUL narration! Buy Book Instead

I bought this book at the recommendation of one of my professors in grad school. It has great content but horrible narration. I really wanted to read "listen" to the whole book but I just couldn't bring myself! Do yourself a favor and skip the audible version!

Just read the book.

The reader is terrible and robotic. So much that if the book has any “flow,” I can’t tell where it starts and where it ends. One sentence read into another. I honestly thought it was read by a computer. I own the book and struggle with reading this type of material. I thought the audiobook would help me understand the material better… I guess the positive is that I will try the book again.
