Do You Know Two Words That Can Greatly Encourage Thinking and Learning?

Hi friends,

     How are you?  Today, I would like to talk about two important words in motivating students to learn.  Do you know what those words could be?  Do you use these words in your own learning?  Do you use these words in your teaching?

     The two words help pique interest and gets the imagination flowing.  These two words help drive curiosity and thought.  They aren’t difficult words, but they are catalysts into some pretty powerful learning.  Have you guessed the words yet?

     These two words are…
 
 
              v

              v

              v

              v

              v

              v

              v
 

                   I wonder…

 
     Yes, the two words of “I wonder” can do a world of good for helping a person to learn.  They can go a long way in teaching a person to learn more things and to become life-long learners.  These can drive people to want to learn.  They inspire people to think, research, try, experiment, and to do various things.


Here are some great ways to use the words, “I wonder”:

*I wonder what would happen if…

*I wonder how much _____ it would take to ________.

*I wonder why that happened.

*I wonder why the author wrote it like that.

*I wonder what would happen if I changed this one thing.

*I wonder what would happen if I did _____ to that.

*I wonder who was the first to _______.

*I wonder what they had to do back in the day instead of _______.

*I wonder who invented the ________.

*I wonder how high I can stack these blocks.

*I wonder how many card tents I can set up to create a domino effect before one of them falls.

*I wonder how many verbs I can name.

*I wonder how many words I can make out of the letters in the word transportation.

*I wonder what type of soil makes plants grow better.

*I wonder if I could make a ________.

*I wonder if I could be a _________.

*I wonder how I would feel if __________.

*I wonder if __________ or _____________makes a better insulator.


 
     Do you wonder?  If so, what do you wonder?  Are there any wonder examples that you could add to the list that would make great teaching tools?  Do you teach others to wonder?  (I can’t wait to read your answers to some of these questions.  I wonder what they will be.  LOL.)

     The ability and trait of wondering are fabulous assets to learning.  “I wonder” are powerful words that can motivate people to learn and encourage them to try new things.  I hope as a learner you will try them and I hope as a teacher (and role model) you will show others how to use these two words.  They will greatly benefit both learning and success.

Now, it is your turn.

     Do you wonder?  What do you wonder?  Do you teach others to wonder?  Do you agree with the importance of wondering?  What are "I wonder" statements would be great examples of teaching tools?  Please, let me know in the comments or feel free to contact me.  I can't wait to read your answers.
 
     I wonder how many of you find value in the Education Blog by DUO Inspirations.  I wonder how many of you will share the Education Blog by DUO Inspirations, so others can find value in it as well.  LOL!  I hope it is you!  And, I really appreciate you being here and all of your support.
