The document discusses improving essay questions for students. It suggests that teachers should provide more clarity and guidance in essay questions. For example, when asking about Shakespeare's view of women, the teacher should specify if they want students to just state his view or provide evidence, and also define what aspect of women is being asked about (e.g. as mothers, wives, social status). An example improved question is given that asks students to analyze a specific Shakespeare play to determine his portrayed view of women's family role and back it up with evidence from the play.

Explanation: More explanation is needed to help students understand what they have to do as part of

determining Shakespeare’s view. Do they just need to state his view or do they also need to provide
evidence? One of the advantages of essay questions is that they allow students to explain their
reasoning, hence a teacher should specify how they need to explain their reasoning. It is more
appropriate to limit the subject matter to one or two of Shakespeare’s plays and to specify more
clearly what is meant by “Shakespeare’s view of women”—does it mean his view of them as mothers,
wives, his view of their social status, etc.? Improved essay question: Analyze Shakespeare’s “Romeo
