names on them. Then as a class,

Higher Order Thinking Skills.
Questioning Techniques.
Debates: Debates offer a great opportunity to allow the students to

which, when done correctly, facilitates differing ideas and the
understanding of these notions presented from a hidden perspective.
Monday
Socratic Dialogue towards the end of
class to help the students learn how to

thinking/perception to other students
which would otherwise be incognito.
Manifests HOT questions in the
student.

Exit Pass – Students must write down
one question they have for that day
before they are allowed to leave the

These are HOT questions which are
