believing/doubting
I don't think I can apply this in my classroom but I can see how it can help me with writing assignments. I will be starting my masters program soon and this will be a process I use. I found it very hard to write positives or argue for a viewpoint I did not agree with. It is a valuable tool and I think the more I use it the easier it will become to argue both sides of an issue.

I agree. I think this is a good tool for me but I just can't figure out how to use it in my classroom either.
I am going to try to use this with my kids, but I think I will have to model first.
I agree. I could see me using it in a classroom if I taught older students... I am not sure how I could adapt it for my grade level. I have trouble getting some to make a decision for what they want to eat for lunch!
Well, one thing to remember is that Don gave you a topic at your level. What might happen, for example, if you asked students to believe that something in a story they read could really happen and then doubt that it could really happen?
