-divergent thinking has 4 main characteristics: " The characteristics were fluency (the ability to rapidly produce a large number of ideas or solutions to a problem); flexibility (the capacity to consider a variety of approaches to a problem simultaneously); originality (the tendency to produce ideas different from those of most other people); and elaboration (the ability to think through the details of an idea and carry it out)."

-we still have had a hard time more websites because they all seem to be repeating the same things

-none of us seem to really know what we are looking for and what we are going to be doing to help us really look for websites.

Our Plato is Fullo Team

OUR PLATO IS FULLO: QUESTIONING

It was Albert Einstein who said, "The important thing is to not stop questioning".

We are taking a turn from the William & Mary Model of Critical Thinking for Gifted Learners and instead focusing on Models of Questioning. The following resource provides three models of questioning, including a look at Bloom's Taxonomy. These three models are deep enough to provide some nice insights into various structures for higher order thinking and deeper questioning for various subjects.

This listing provides a variety of visual interpretations of Bloom's Taxonomy

We will continue to discuss our renewed focus on Questioning, and next week should be able to use our time to align our goals for the lesson.
