Thinking skills Poster

This image has been turned in to a display to support students understanding of what it means and looks like to dig deeper in our thought processes and how to produce more in-depth sentences. It can also be applied to other areas of the curriculum, especially when looking for more thoughtful and extend answers when you ask a question. This display provides great imagery to a concept that can be quite abstract in younger children.
