This book will serve as a "Think Button" for any educator who has
ever heard a student say, "I can't think" or "I can't decide!"
Fifty prompts or thinking conduits are the catalysts that will give
students a chance to practice thinking. The prompts (many with
option answers) are formatted as brief stories, exercises, poems,
and activities and are designed so kids can use the same thinking
skill sets that are essential in making everyday decisions. Whether
the prompts pose silly questions, "Would you rather bathe a gorilla
or take an elephant for a walk?" or practical ones, "What's the
best way to express your opinion?" they are all crafted to spur
children to think hard and sensibly so they can make levelheaded
decisions and defend their thinking in a stress-free think forum
environment. The intention is for students to take the essence of
something they've learned from a prompt and adapt it, stretch it,
and use it to help solve a problem or make a tough decision. Every
prompt comes with guidance, explanations, and suggestions so
educators can clarify why certain options or decisions are better
than others, and respond to thinking choices and decisions students
may have made.
