Brainies Part 2

That was good thinking Albert Einstein and WBT knows a lot about that! Here it is......
"The Einstein triangle"

Yes, Judy.....but how?
It´s as easy as using the 6 wheel rainbow rolling triangle.
Depending on the students age, you can:
  • Get students to research on google finding the information of the question you give them out using the 6 wheel rainbow rolling triangle.
  • Give them an article where you will hand out the 6 wheel rainbow rolling triangle. They will have to make up the question and answer them all.
"Critical thinking" is in use. 
Let´s give an example. 
This year my students are going to have a unit about: 
                 "My Community" in social science.  
What we are going to do, is to do reseach about the following information to be able to answer these question ...... How? 
Well, we have google, brochure about our city, newspapers,....

My students are in 3rd grade and their first language is Spanish so I have decided to give out the questions using the 6 wheel rainbow rolling triangle. 
  1. What is the name of your community?
  2. Where is your community?
  3. How did your community begin?
  4. Why do we need public services?
  5. Who works in these public services?
  6. When are local governments elected?

Students will be able to identify information about the community as they are exploring for the information and selecting the best answer to built it up. The results are going deep into connections and conclusions reaching the goal. 
              "Critical thinking"  Jumping out of the box!
                                         Oh yeah!
