It all starts with a question?
- Allow students to explore their curiosity by asking questions that peek their interest
- Give students an opportunity to investigate solutions
- Gather knowledge
- Discuss their discoveries and experiences
- Reflect on newly aquired knowledge

There is no one "right answer"
The way it works

- Do not derail off topic
- Allow equal time for all participants
- Everyone needs to listen
- Teachers guide discussions by clarifying synthesizing and restating earlier opinions

To engage students in critical thinking
