Stepping into Target is designed to welcome first grade students into the Gifted Program and to acclimate them to the vocabulary used in these classrooms. They will understand the concept of "Multiple Intelligences" as well as the learning progression expressed in Bloom's Taxonomy. Students become aware that when they are in their gifted classes, the focus will be on higher-level thinking and problem solving using fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Essential Questions: 1. How does literature contribute to the development of higher order thinking skills? 2. How can successful knowledge of research skills help students become life-long learners? 3. How can we learn Higher Order Thinking Skills through a multi-disciplinary curriculum?
