Imagine a magnificent learning tree standing tall with a robust trunk that supports six prominent branches, each representing a unique path of inquiry. At the tip of each branch, we can attach one of six crucial question words: who, what, where, when, why, and how. Once you’ve invested time in reading, watching, or engaging in a discussion about a topic, it becomes essential to dig deeper by asking questions from each of these learning tree branches. This method fosters a thorough and enriching exploration of the subject matter. To illustrate this transformative approach, consider examples for each branch of this learning tree and the type of questions you can investigate.
The Learning Tree Approach.
- Who was the hero or heroin in the story? (Protagonist) (Antagonist)
- What did they do that stood out to you?
- Where did the story take place?
- When did the story take place?
- Why do you think that?
In collaboration with our YouTube site, we welcome you back.
