Week+3+Strategy

This week's strategy is taken from M.Pohl's (1997) __Teaching thinking in the primary years__. Hawker Brownlow Education.Melbourne, VIC but I think is still relevant to the Secondary classroom!

Click on the link to see a variety of question starters to stimulate and develop thinking! What question starters are effective for you? What has worked for you? Have you noticed that different strategies work for different students?

Our gifted students need to be encouraged and challenged to use these strategies themselves when approaching topics. Obviously, we need to encourage them to develop their thinking to be concentrating on higher level responses, the ones requiring CRITICAL, CREATIVE and CARING responses without ignoring the lower level questioning strategies which need to be employed for understanding!
