Think of an exerciSe for your Students related to the Subject you
currently teach. When you ask the questions, problems or whatever
you have in mind, take into account the table we have provided. Tag,
the questions, activities... with the colours we have inSerted in
Tablel beside the categories, and bear in mind at all times to move
up from lower order thinking skills to higher order thinking, skills
when asking those questions, which, in itself, will make a more
sensible way of progressing through the exercise.
