I thought that this was so intriguing .... I told my husband about it. He teaches eighth grade math, and he asked his students the to do the same thing. The vast variety of thoughts and questions were amazing! Then I began to wonder, "When do people begin to ask their first questions?"
I'm currently teaching preschool - Two's to be exact. They are just starting to articulate "Why?" or "What is that?". When I pointed that out to a colleague today, she replied that she feels babies ask questions by non-verbally pointing at something until you answer, and that those are really the first questions. Some fun food for thought...
