Subject: Re: the purpose of "unseens" and a HOTS comment

The HOTS are not supposed to help him understand problem solving.
Thinking about the problem solving process is supposed to help analyze
the story. Even if the kid thinks about problem solving on his own,
without the teacher presenting the process of defining the problem,
thinking of alternatives, choosing one and then trying it out, the
student can still understand that examining the problem solving
process in the piece can help understand the piece on a deeper level,
if the question is worded well.
