Other Added - Higher Level Thinking? As Easy As A Question
I received an eMail today from a man who owns a tattoo shop located downtown. The man wrote me in response to a message I had just broadcast and he felt compelled to respond. More about him in a moment.After reading his response, I couldn't seem to get the subject of tattoos and body piercings out of my head. I recalled a British minister - a man in his late 50's at the time - testifying that the Lord had directed him to pierce an ear in the fashion of the bond servant referred to by the apostle Paul. Such a servant would have his ear pierced his master as a sign that he would serve him fo
When trying to elicit a response from anyone, we need to use the proper start to every question. Simply asking “How was your trip?” will never work. The answer could just be “Good.”. Not exactly what you were looking for if you plan to take a similar trip to the same location. You need to get more information. The question starter “How was….?” was very insufficient in promoting conversation. Promoting conve
The strength of any great sales professional is in the size, value, and credibility of the pipeline. A pipeline is defined as an identified prospect company to which you have described the features of your products or services. These features will enhance the value of the prospect’s business or solve a potential company problem in the future. A good sales professional looks at a pipeline as a living, breathing, and growing object. It will start out small and continue to grow when it is fed the proper nourishment, and will begin to feed you only at its mature stage. Building this pipeline can a
So, here is the situation. Questions are being asked all day and every day in schools, offices, homes and elsewhere around the world. But, what kinds of questions? Do they always work? Do we get the answer we were looking for? Are our students engaged in the learning process? Do we use questioning enough? You can figure out the answer for your specific instance very easily.
Think about your daily lesson, work or social life. If you just completed a project in class with your students, do you ask, “What did you think about the project?”. You will most likely hear lots of “Yes’s.” and “It was OK.” and responses like that. These are short answers that make students feel like they are appeasing you.
Imagine being at work and asking your employees or co-workers, “How did you think the meeting went?”. Again, you will hear quick responses that have little to no thought involved in them. This will happen for a variety of reasons.
The same thing will happen with friends, family and basically any other situation you are in. Sometimes we hear people talking about “digging deeper” to find out more information about something. What does “digging deeper” really mean? It means, asking the right question.

Price reflects the value sacrificed for the acquisition of an item at the moment of purchase; therefore price paid is a historical fact and does not necessarily reflect the value of the item after the transaction, since this may change. Value changes when supply or demand changes. If the value of an asset that was acquired at a specific cost changes in the course of time, the accounting records will no longer reflect its value.When recording accounting transactions at historical cost it is assumed, by implication, that prices remain stable. This is obviously not so in practice and conseq

To avoid loss due to unanticipated events like accident, sickness, job loss, and death, many financial companies now offer insurance covers on loans. Since different customers have different requirements, at different stages in their lives, companies offer tailored insurance options to meet the individual needs of the borrowers. Financial experts from the UK loan market recommend taking payment protection insurance. These are vital, especially in the case of secured loans. This is due to the fact that the borrower puts his home as security and if he defaults on the loan payme

As someone who loves to shop, enjoys holidays and owns way too many pairs of shoes, managing my finances is definitely something that does not come naturally to me, I have had to learn. Managing your money is so important in becoming more organised, less stressed and more productive in your life – you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve with your money when it starts working for you, rather than you always working for it!Seek advice. It’s funny how most of us will go to experts for help in so many different areas of our lives, but we seem to think that somehow managing our money is
When trying to elicit a response from anyone, we need to use the proper start to every question. Simply asking “How was your trip?” will never work. The answer could just be “Good.”. Not exactly what you were looking for if you plan to take a similar trip to the same location. You need to get more information. The question starter “How was….?” was very insufficient in promoting conversation. Promoting conversation is the key to making the mind think. Simply asking, “How could you summarize your trip to…?” would work better. This person would then describe and explain the major parts of the trip and you can guide the conversation in the direction of your curiosity.
How does this relate to the classroom? In the classroom this means that the student has to think about prior learning and come up with an organized response to the question. Higher-level thinking questions do just that. They do not allow for one-word or short answers. The student must become engaged in a conversation. This may mean that they are interpreting data, defending an opinion, coming up with a solution to an issue or any other variety of responses that cause students speak their thoughts aloud.
Now, how is this done? Higher-level thinking questions have beginnings that are well defined. They automatically cause individuals to “ponder”. Many times they will relate to opinions that individuals may have formed so that they want to express themselves. Here are some examples of question starters: “How can you explain why…?”, “How would you compare…?”, “In your owns words, what is…?”, “How could you simplify…?”, “What is the significance of…?” (Kagan, 1999). Right away you can see how the gears start working and the process of being involved begins. Students, or anyone for that matter, begin to think! When you get immersed in it, you can have the students use the “starters” to come up with questions regarding a topic. Again, making them a part of the experience keeps that involvement at a high level.
We have all heard of the value of good questions somewhere in our lives. Dr. Spencer Kagan has developed sets of these “question starters” along with entire books devoted to specific topic areas. This way
