Ms. Torres is a 10th grade English teacher who utilizes the ideas of Jean Piaget with her class. During a unit on poetry, she tries to give the students a chance to develop abstract ideas of their own. An effective method to bring about abstract thought would be:
  1. Having students collaborate on a class-published poetry anthology
  2. Asking students to journal about symbols in the poem she’s teaching
  3. Asking students to think of an object and give it symbolic meaning
  4. Having students memorize and recite a poem that they wrote
Explanation
Answer: C - Asking students to think of an object and give it symbolic meaning. During the formal operational stage of Piaget’s theory, students are able to develop concepts given their firm grasp on concrete objects. Asking students to take a common object and develop a meaning for it on their own would promote abstract thinking.
