Mason's ideas on questioning fit very well into an inquiry model. Inquiry is a student-led, challenge first/lecture later (if at all) style, and Mason's ideas about integrating difficult questions to lessons is directly tied to that. When we make questions rigorous for students, we teach students to not be afraid of getting stuck, and they learn to be more resilient to tough problems. If we model how to cope when a problem stumps you, we show we are empathetic (we also can be stumped!) and they can tackle problems on their own, without the constant guidance of a teacher, which inquiry requires.
In my unit planning, I want to make notes of specific questions I want to base my lessons around. I think by having a guiding question, lessons can have more of a natural flow to them, and the lesson will naturally become more inquiry based.
