My class are really into our thinking skills (SOLO Taxonomy). They enjoy and are getting better at self assessing where their thoughts are at against SOLO. Having this model has helped to target our inquiry process as it gives something to refer to to help the kids construct deeper understanding about the topic. Some of them are starting to relate everything we discuss back to themselves, to see how it applies to them. They love to compare and contrast things! Our next step, or a step we need anyway, is a solid inquiry model to follow that we can refer to that is based on our matrix but maybe more visual and user friendly.
