This is an area I am really trying to work on.  I have noticed that kids are 
so trained to look for right answers that they don't seem to know how to 
think.  I loved your description of your lesson.  Thanks for sharing.  Do you

this book has lessons that could be used with 5th graders?  It sounds like it 
based on your lesson.
