What Are The Best Questions For Teaching Critical Thinking? by Terry Heick What are the different types of questions? Turns out, it’s pretty limitless.

Turkey Carving is an activity I remember from my own fifth-grade experience. Just before Thanksgiving, my teacher handed each of us a graham cracker and challenged us to carve it into a turkey silhouette—using only our teeth! It was a unique and tricky challenge. Many classmates needed a second cracker, either because the first one broke or they ended up nibbling too much off.
