    Teacher: Gary, what are you doing? Gary: Thinking, sir.

    Teacher: Well, stop thinking and listen to me. We have ways of making you think. Well ten ways to try.
    1. Allow thinking time or processing time Provide at least five seconds of thinking time after a question and after a response. Use think-pair-share Allow individual thinking time, discussion with a partner, and then open up for the class discussion. Ask follow-ups Why? Do you agree? Can you elaborate? Tell me more. Can you give an example? Ask for a summary Could you please summarise Johns point? Play devils advocate Ask pupils to defend their reasoning against different points of view. Ask pupils to unpack their thinking Describe how you arrived at your answer. (Think aloud) Encourage pupil questioning Let pupils develop their own questions. Signpost thoughtful responses There is not a single correct answer for this question. I want you to consider alternatives. Set time for brainstorming and building ideas Allow time for pupils to generate as many ideas as possible without criticism or discussion. Focus on Quantity. After the brainstorm is over allow time too for them to sort, evaluate and build ideas. Focus on Quality. Allow time for incubation of ideas Allow pupils to stop working on a problem/project and do something else for a while. This lets the subconscious work on ideas and solutions.
