A Penny For Your Thoughts

A penny for your thoughts.

By guessing you are priming your brain for learning, which will help you remember the meaning more easily. It doesn’t matter if your guess is wrong, the key is to exercise your brain by guessing.

Write your guess in the comments below. After you post your guess, go ahead and look it up.

That’s right, I want you to find the answer. Because remember, my job as your teacher is to guide you to the answer. If I just gave you the answer without asking you to do the work, I’d be robbing you of your learning opportunity. No pain, no gain!

    This proverb means that sometimes one needs to be encouraged to speak out.

    I think this one probably means to ask about what someone’s thinking about. Maybe the person was musing or silent for a while.
