another person, or thing in history, or current events. <\/li><li>Students hypothesize what they think the person, or thing was\/is thinking, or how they perceive the world around them. <\/li><li>Students are asked questions such as&#8230; &#8220;What might this person\/thing care about or wish would happen?&#8221; &#8220;What might this person\/thing believe?&#8221; or &#8220;What can this person see or notice?&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>What Makes You Say That?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This strategy encourages students to voice their reasoning for how they are thinking. <\/li><li>Students are also encouraged to accept and explore alternative explanations to why others are thinking the way they are.<\/li><li>Students are presented with the questions of &#8220;What&#8217;s going on?&#8221; and &#8220;What do you see that makes you say that?&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/edt431-531\/files\/2020\/02\/what-makes-you-say-that-727x1024.jpg?resize=239%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2701\" width=\"239\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/what-makes-you-say-that.jpg?resize=727%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 727w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/what-makes-you-say-that.jpg?resize=213%2C300&amp;ssl=1 213w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/what-makes-you-say-that.jpg?resize=768%2C1082&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/what-makes-you-say-that.jpg?w=2000 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/what-makes-you-say-that.jpg?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>I used to think&#8230; Now I think&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This is a great way for students to get a sense of how their knowledge and perceptions, or opinions about a concept, change over time. <\/li><li>It can be used with a variety of different works such as creative writing, a news article, a video they watched or a book they read.<\/li><li>The instructions are very simple.      Simply ask students to reflect either on paper or verbally (can use words, pictures, diagrams, etc.) about what they <strong>used to think<\/strong> and what they <strong>now think<\/strong>. <\/li><li>A way to get the entire class involved is to have students write their answers on post-it notes and stick them on the board. This can be followed by a class discussion.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/edt431-531\/files\/2020\/02\/i-used-to-think-now-i-think-1-1024x730.png?resize=412%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2706\" width=\"412\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/i-used-to-think-now-i-think-1.png?resize=1024%2C730&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/i-used-to-think-now-i-think-1.png?resize=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/i-used-to-think-now-i-think-1.png?resize=768%2C547&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2020\/02\/i-used-to-think-now-i-think-1.png?w=1326&amp;ssl=1 1326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Don&#39;t just simply have your students complete tasks and assignments!
