Teacher: Miss Katherine Victoria VanAnderland

Date: 06/30/2020

Overview & Purpose

WE always have questions for life and its existence and, who would've thought that one could find so many What If questions. This is an exercise to use your critical thinking skills with 100+ questions to ask through the rest of the year. Use this lesson plan to ask at least one What If? Question each day in your daily plan. This lesson is structured toward Gifted Children who excel in knowledge and life.

“What If...? Box is a brilliant tool for use in any lesson across the curriculum. It contains 168 questions, all of which begin with 'What if...' Students can select questions at random by clicking on the colored dots which are flying out of the What If...? Box. The resource is particularly good for developing critical and creative thinking.”
