----- Original Message ----- From: Mitzi Geffen - mitzi1002001@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: HOTS in action The point is not that it is preferable to teach any particular piece using HOTS. The point is that research has apparently proven the value of teaching HOTS explicitly and making students aware of the fact that they are using them. It doesn't necessarily have to be with literature, but it is one way, and was a way to get literature into the bagrut. It doesn't ruin the literature, and I must say, I was stunned at the very positive feedback about dealing with the HOTS I got from my students in their very last summative reflection tasks.

An explanation of why one should use HOTS in order to do this would also be very welcome. >I'm sure a clear explanation of HOTS in action would do much to either silence the naysayers or....not. ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
