Hi,
   Today's session got me thinking...the 9 questions at the beginning. I am now aware of how application of the knowledge is more important than the knowledge/fact. This brings to my mind an old Panchatantra story about 3 deciples who were taught by a Guru how to give life to any dead animal. They all tried it out on a lion which was dead in the jungle without thinking twice and after the process of giving life to the dead lion, the 3 deciples were killed by it.
See I am thinking too...

I used to be an impatient mother/auntie who used to rush on looking at a child struggle and help(or do the opposite??) in a moment. Now I am holding myself back.
I remember as a child(I vividly remember) in social studies there was a question in a test(I studied SS in hindi) " Hum Kapde kyon pehente hain?"  and I had written "Kapde na pehenne se humen sharam aati hai isliye hum kapde pehente hain" and I still remember how everyone was laughing at me for having written such an answer.

Changing questions from 'why' to 'how' was very interesting too. I realised how 'how' Qs can be more positive and they can unfold different options.
I am really unable to frame words to express what I learnt from the basket excercise. Maybe someone else's thoughts and reviews about this will help.
Pls see the cartoon on thinking...
Shubha
