TYPES OF NON-RECALL QUESTIONS

Provide classmate with a problem or situation, and ask them to explore one or more of the moral and ethical concerns. 
Try to get them thinking about the topic from multiple sides, giving them a broader understanding of the subject. 

2. Assess → Diagnose → Act 
Assessment: What is the issue or problem at hand? 
Diagnosis: What is the root cause of this issue or problem? 
Action: How can we solve the issue? 

3. Compare and Contrast 
Ask your classmate to make connections and identify differences between ideas that can be found in class texts, articles, images, videos and more etc. 

4. Interpretive → Evaluative 
Begin with questions about the intentions or goals of the filmmaker or a character. Then ask classmat to evaluate the veracity of these intentions, and finally the effectiveness of the methods used. 

5. Conceptual Changes 
Introduce classmate to a new concept or idea, then ask them to search online to find a common misconception about this topic and explain it in their answer.
