Questions with Two Feet for Successful Teams is a premium download from Teachers Pay Teachers. The document is a step-by-step guide for teaching students and group leaders how to ask better, more in-depth questions of themselves in order to engage new parts of their brains and find better more creative answers.
The benefit of learning to use this two-footed approach to questions is that the method jogs the brain out of its normal patterns of critical thinking and problem-solving, creating a new way of approaching problems and coming up with creative answers. The two-feet question frames a problem or an evaluation in a way that taps both sides of the brain, asking about both the subject and the actions to take (or taken) regarding the subject.
The document presents this two-feet question as a problem-solving technique intended to facilitate better group discussions and collaboration, but really the practice of asking these type of question is something that could benefit writers as well, both creative and otherwise. The purpose of the exercise is to spur the brain into new ways of thinking, to critically analyze an issue and find a new solution. These are skills that could benefit any writer.
