This is a quick read and it's pretty much filled with stuff I already knew. It focuses on 7 thinking skills:
1. Conceptualizing: essential questions, word wall, and students playing detective
2. Note making & Summarizing: using window notes, 4-2-1
3. Comparing: use organizers
4. Reading for Understanding: previewing, scavenger hunts, single sentence summaries
5. Predicting & Hypothesizing: hooks, mystery, if-then, questioning
6. Visualizing & Graphic Representation: organizers, pictures
7. Perspective Taking & Empathizing: another point of view, mock trial, day in the life
If you teach LA or you just want to make sure you are digger deeper with your lessons - this is a good reminder. All in all, I say: READ IT if you are a teacher
