πŸ› Fuzzy Problems

Fuzzy problems are ambiguous. They are missing data. They have lots of right answers, but (more importantly) they also have wrong answers.

πŸͺ„ Change, Then Explain!

My favorite way to reach "synthesize" - ask students to make a change and then explain the effects of that change.

πŸ’₯ Get Ridiculous

Avoid boring examples and go for the outliers! Everything's more interesting when you're working with unexpected examples.

πŸŽ₯ Embed A Classic

Take out a boring sample and embed great art, music, film, tv shows, and other classics into your lessons.

❓ Ask Better Questions

I received surprisingly little training on how to ask questions, considering how many darn questions I asked!

🀭 Find The Controversy

Every topic has some juicy controversy. Leverage it! Look for ambiguity, disagreements, dilemmas, and discrepancies in any topic.

🚫 Anti-Techniques

These are ideas I used to believe that now I think aren't actually so great. Oops!

πŸ”ƒ Think Big! But Also Small.

Get your students' thinking moving from specific to the abstract and then back again.
