6 word story: Students learn to love learning.
One thing that can make school more enjoyable for students is if you teach them why the class content is applicable to daily life. They will be more willing to learn the content if they see the value in it. #ED411 #profession&ethics

@Adapaa It requires students to go beyond surface level answers! It makes them dig deeper than giving vague or opinion based questions. Asking this question requires students to analyze their thinking process, back up their answers with evidence, and consider other viewpoints. #ED370

@jbj_mr This is a great topic to apply this to! It would enhance the learning experience. The topic is very important and relevant as well. I wish I learned more about the election process in high school.

@BillingsKaty @Adapaa Good idea! I did not think of this.

For English, I found Claim-Support-Question to be best to incorporate. This thinking strategy has students analyze the text, and then back up their claims with textual evidence! This is a critical skill to have for reading. #ED370

A1: I have had many classes during my education where the teacher only talked at us and we were expected to copy down notes. We weren't required to think. We only had to copy notes to study for the test. #ED370
