    The document provides tables from a now unavailable website that list useful verbs and sample question stems for different types of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) - analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The tables also suggest potential activities and products teachers could introduce in their WebQuests to promote HOTS. Some example activities include designing questionnaires, writing commercials, conducting investigations, making flow charts and graphs, and more. The document suggests these tables serve as a useful reference for incorporating HOTS into WebQuest lesson plans.

    However, the information contained within this site is invaluable!!! so I have reproduced
    it here. It shows teachers the potential activities and products to introduce into their
    WebQuest which will produce Higher Order Thinking Skills - HOTS so highly
    recommended by the creators of the WebQuest concept - Prof. Bernie Dodge and Tom
    March.
