1. What does it mean when someone knows how to think?

It means that the students are able to put together all of their previous knowledge and apply it to their thoughts about a certain subject. They are able to be unique with their thoughts and not to just recall facts. It is about forming an answer with previous knowledge.

2. How does a teacher teach a student how to think?

A teacher teaches their students how to think by showing compassion about their given subject. If a teacher has a positive attitude about a subject, then the students will see that and be interested in learning and thinking for themselves.

3. Have you ever been in a class where you really had to think?

I have been in a class when I was encouraged to be unique and not afraid to give the wrong answer. I was not necessarily given the correct answer in the past, but I am able to form the correct answer with my previous experiences, thoughts and knowledge.
