Here are the questions that would be used to guide students through the think-puzzle-explore thinking routine.
What do we think we know about this situation?
press the student: What makes you think that?
This first stage is like KWL except one major difference - conditional language: What do we think we know, (but it might not be correct?) This encourages students to offer tentative ideas and personal thoughts and to remain open to inquiry and discovery. Teacher respects the process of student generated ideas and inquiry, pressing for deeper thinking.
What are you puzzling over? More active and engaging than what would you like to know. Invites personal thinking and problem-solving than just stockpiling facts.
How might we solve our puzzles? What means and methods might we use? How might we work together?
goal: to make classroom inquiry more learning oriented than work oriented.
