their peers or their teachers is a
classroom where students feel free to be
creative. Encourage students to ask
questions, and if for some reason you

answer it themselves, or have them save
the question until the following day.

 Relationships, or QARs, teach students
to label the type of question that is being
asked, then use that information to help
them formulate an answer. Students
must decipher if the answer can be
found in a text or on the internet, or if
they must rely on their own prior
knowledge to answer it. This strategy
has been found to be effective for
higher-order thinking because students
become more aware of the relationship
between the information in a text and
their prior knowledge, which helps them
decipher which strategy to use when
they need to seek an answer
