What’s the big deal?  Learning takes place when you produce knowledge not re produce it.  Recognize a higher-level thinking question: Colleges want you to be able to dig deeper, use higher level thinking questions.  Needed for Tutorials and Socratic Seminars…so we can have a common language

 Reword the question using other words from the same Costa level.  Construct a new question using words from higher or lower Costa levels.  Use several level one questions to create a level two or three question.  Relate ideas from the question to: a personal experience, a movie, to the “big” questions of life, or random words (to find “hidden connections”).  If you don’t know how to answer the question, develop a new question that you predict will have a similar answer but is easier to discuss.
