The answer, as you might suspect, is not to write mere trivia. Asking about Elijah in one breath and Paul in the next does little to reinforce memories or build comprehension. How to Help Your Students Mine Their Memories Asking just one or two questions would barely begin to scratch the surface.

One good question should be followed by another that digs deeper into the subject.
Good questions are as important as the answers.

Jacob, his father His enemies His brothers Pharaoh 15. You can spot trivial questions sometimes by the way they bounce from subject to unrelated subject. Instead, series of questions should be asked that focus on a subject or related subjects.
