Students in Mr. Coleman's six-grade English class are asked to read and
actively engage in discussion after the completion of a story or book. Mr.
Coleman regularly asks questions such as, "Justify your reasons for making the
previous statement," "Critique the following conversation that took place
between the main characters in the book," "Establish the way you think the
author should have ended the book," or "Predict what you think will happen
in the next chapter." In asking these questions of his students, Mr. Coleman's
focus is most likely on-
OA.checking to make sure the students read the assigned
material.
OB.encouraging the use of higher-order thinking skills.
OC gathering information and discovering students' knowledge,
interests, and experiences.
O Dreceiving literal interpretations of the material students are to
be reading.
