We relied heavily on the following source: Alice Lesnick, "Odd Questions, Strange Texts, and Other People," in Writing-Based Teaching: Essential Practices and Enduring Questions, eds. Teresa Vilardi and Mary Chang (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2009), 71-94.
Remember that odd-angled questions allow for multiple right answers; they come at - and from - a text indirectly, surprisingly; they cannot remain general, one builds upon another - start with what is obvious, then go deeper; they are not yes or no questions; they are not questions to which you already know the answer; and they might not even begin as questions!
