Intentional Teaching via Provocations (in this instance; questions)! Here are some great questions that have been used during various group discussions! While building on childrens knowledge and interests is critical we also must remember the importance of challenging children and each other as well as creating many different opportunities for debate!! According to Vygotsky, until children learn to use mental tools, their learning is largely controlled by the environment; they attend only to the things that are brightest or loudest, and they can remember something only if has been repeated many times. AFTER children master mental tools, they become in charge of their own learning, by attending and remembering in an intentional and purposeful way.
