The trick is to find the medium questions that can be answered and that take you somewhere.” -Jerome Bruner (1960), p. 37 THINK – PAIR - SHARE THINK – PAIR - SHARE

  8. Tic – Tac – Toe Collaborate with three different colleagues, Tic-Tac-Toe Style. For each square collaborate and decide if the question is or is not essential. • If it IS essential explain why. • If it is NOT essential design a new EQ.
