Today was all about Thinking. I learned about the importance of Thinking and the role it plays in improving understanding. We focused on the 3 levels of thinking below:
Getting students to build their thinking skills through Collaborative reasoning will improve my students ability to think critically.
I enjoyed the Provocation provided: e.g To be brave you have to scared. This provided robust discussion and deeper level thinking within my group.
In my class I can see provocations being helpful in challenging students perspectives and helping them to see others points of views.It should help to refuel discussion. I'll have to remind students to challenge ideas not the person.
I'm also going to get my students to understand from a resistant perspective by rewriting parts of that text. E.g Write from the perspective of Pania or the lady who doesn’t want to bungy jump. What would they say if they did do the jump?
I found Naomi’s talk on Critical analysis helpful.
