Redirect
I use this a lot in my class. Most of it is just keeping the "Method" of the recipe going. Students sometimes get part or get something out of order. In anything you can't skip the middle part of a MOP - Method of Production. So I will question and do "What If" and "why this way" and it gets that student thinking as well as the rest of the class.
Guy,
This is a great way to encourage and develop critical thinking skills. Students enjoy this method of teaching.

Good concept. I also try to direct the question if I think someone has something to add to the discussion. It's also a great way to keep the discussion going!
Peggy,
Absolutely! Students' responses can build on each other and they keep the class interesting.

Mr. Anderson that sounds like an excellent way to involve the class in discussions while giving them a framework for their thinking. This will ensure that students will stay on task while thinking creatively in their responses.
Jonathan,
It is always a plus to employ critical thinking skills.
