Haven't used these in a while, did today. Iceberg thinking. #pedagoofriday #engchatuk pic.twitter.com/XMmW4YMJ63— Englishlulu (@englishlulu) June 6, 2014
What to do:
We know that most of the mass of an iceberg is actually submerged beneath the water. We can't see how much. This is a little like learning. We need to ensure students understand more than the surface meaning of concepts/topics.
So, why not try a task like @EnglishLulu has with her classes. It seems like a great way to move students to deeper learning and will help get them out their comfort zones, into the struggle zone. It will also help them Think Hard.
Variations:
Get students to write their own? Test another class?
