 Guess Who 2? |
 |
| Story - Guess Who 2? These questions can be used throughout the text with whole class and small groups to encourage discussion and develop pupils' thinking. |
||
| Thinking Process | What it means | Sample questions |
| Knowledge | To recall information reviewed. | Where
do Toucans live? What do Treefrogs have on their toes? What do Monkeys eat? How many legs does a Leaf-cutter Ants have? |
| Understanding | To show understanding of information by summarising or reinstating in own words |
Which is your favourite animal? |
| Application | To use previously learned information in a new situation. |
Why does a Toucan have a bright
and colourful bill? |
| Analysis | To develop skills or inference and deduction. |
Why do you think these animals
live in the rainforest? |
| Synthesis/ speculation | To formulate new theory, argument or summary based on informed understanding. | Why do Leaf-cutter
ants eat rotting leaves? Why do you think that is is important in the rainforest? Are Leaf-cutter ants more important than Treefrogs in the rainforest? What would happen to the rainforest if there were no Leaf-cutter Ants? |
| Evaluation | To judge the value of ideas or materials and articulate reasons. | Would
you like to be a Toucan? Why? Would you like to live in a rainforest? If you were a rainforest animal, what would be special about you? Why? Why do all these animals need to live together in the rainforest? |
