Answers:
1. By giving them an analysis-based question that encourage their critical thinking and
creative thinking. The students are presented by a problem, and they are asked to analyze
it and explain why does it happen and how to overcome this.
2. The LOTS only allows students to restate the ideas or opinion, while in HOTS, the
students are asked to create their own opinion or analysis by thinking creatively and
critically.
3. In teaching LOTS, the teacher can provide a series of assessment that allows students to
recall, reexplain, and implement the ideas from the topic given, while in teaching HOTS,
the teacher can provide an analysis-based question that encourage their critical thinking
and creative thinking by contrasting, arguing, and creating a new idea.
Example:
LOTS: The teacher gives a text, and provide a multiple-choice question related to the
ideas of the text.
HOTS: The teacher gives a statement containing a problem and the students are asked to
analyze it and explain how to overcome the problem.
4. I will give them a topic, for example about global warming and I’ll ask them to explain
their opinion about why is it happening and how to overcome this problem orally in front
of the class. Then, I will ask one of the other students to give an oral comment to his/her
friend’s opinion the students agrees or not.
5. I will give a reading text, for example about global warming, and I’ll ask the students to
read it carefully and analyze the problems and the solution. Then, they are asked to make
an opinion about the problems and the solution, and they are asked to create a new
statement related to those. They are asked to argue their statement toward the reading
text.
6. I will provide a statement containing a problem, and the students are asked to write:
 their opinion; whether they agree or not agree with the statement.
 their reason why they agree or not agree with the statement.
 their own solution for the problem.
7. I will provide some questions that contain some grammatical errors (for grammar) and
inappropriate adverb, adjective, or so on (for vocabulary), then, the students are asked to
analyze whether the sentences are correct or not, and revise the incorrect sentences.
