In our club, we dive deep into advanced thinking strategies like SCAMPER, Hypothetical Thinking, Rank Ordering, Mind Mapping, Hexagonal Thinking, and more. We're not just exploring stories; we're shaking things up, brainstorming wild ideas, and connecting the dots in ways that will blow your mind.

SCAMPER Style: Get ready to shake things up as we substitute, combine, and adapt ideas to make our stories even more thrilling. Imagine brainstorming how Clementine's adventures would change with a twist or a fusion of the characters' escapades.

Hypothetical Thinking: Dive into "What if?" scenarios that will take our stories to new heights.

Rank Ordering: Put on your ranking hats as we discern what truly stands out in the stories. From ranking challenges faced by Clementine to deciding the most surprising plot twist, it's all about uncovering what captivates us the most.

Mind Mapping: We're not just reading; we're visually mapping out connections between characters, events, and themes. 

Hexagonal Thinking: Connect the dots in a whole new way using hexagons to explore relationships between ideas, characters, and themes. 

Each session is meticulously designed to elevate the learning experience, ignite the imagination, and empower children to express their comprehension of books in exciting and distinctive ways.
