Students should get in a habit of asking questions. Clarification is sometimes needed by students when they don’t understand. Often, students in second grade may be scared to ask questions. However, the more questions they ask, then the more comfortable they will feel about seeking clarification from their teachers. In this quiz, the students will choose questions to ask teachers for clarification or explanation based on a comment made by the teacher or picture shown to the student.
