Socratic Question Sequence Builder

Design a Socratic question sequence for {{topic_or_text}}:

Start with activation:
1. Hook question: What do you already notice/know about {{topic_or_text}}?

Move to exploration (5-7 questions):
2. What if question: What if [condition changes]?
3. Why/how question: Why do you think [phenomenon] happens?
4. Comparison: How is [concept A] different from [concept B]?
5. Challenge: Can you find a counterexample?
6. Connection: Where have you seen this before?
7. Synthesis: What pattern or principle explains this?

Close with reflection:
8. So what?: What's the significance of what we've discovered?
9. Now what?: How would you apply this?

Provide follow-up probes if students give surface answers.
