Summary
I’d show a quote and then ask, “What does this quote mean?” And that was it!
- First, the teacher presents a quote to students, next he reflects on the inadequacy of the questions he initially planned to ask, then he suggests better questions that would encourage deeper thinking, and finally, he invites students to consider which question they find most interesting.
- First, students will reword a quote by Benjamin Franklin for a five-year-old, then they’ll discuss when the quote might be wrong, next they’ll adjust it to fit those situations, and finally, they could write a letter to Franklin explaining their changes.
