Question for you. What do you get when you give someone an image and ten minutes?
That was the question posed to Mrs. Hotaling's 5th grade class last week as we discussed "thick" vs "thin" questions. This "thick" question doesn't have a right or wrong answer. It can't quickly be 'Googled.' What the question does is challenge you to activate your inner genius, where your passions, background knowledge and creativity guide you to an end product.
Check out what the group came up with below when they were given the image above, ten minutes and writing utensils.
What observations can you make? What do they have in common? What's different? What would you do with the image above and 10 minutes?
