I thought this was fabulous. I had never studied these prompts but I feel like I left with a good understanding of what each one means and how to implement that prompt in my classroom.

I think this is a good introduction to the prompts of Depth and Complexity. I wish there was a little more discussion warning educators from using this as a “listing” strategy and more how to incorporate the frame as a tool to engage students in deeper exploration of a topic.
