HOTS

In the CLIL Classroom we're challenged to provide an environment that promotes higher level skills. These skills will take place together with second language learning if we do them correctly. Be encouraged! With practice it will work, one step at a time.

I want to help you with the language and ideas of HOTS. The verbs that go along with HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills), rather than just LOT (Lower Order Thinking Skills) are some of the following:

Examples:
Locate
Interpret
Classify
Construct
Describe
Predict
Diagram

Please keep these kinds of activities in mind when you are thinking out and developing your Task Charts - HOTS/LOTS.
