Convergent thinking questions are those which represent the analysis and integration of given or remembered information. They lead you to an expected end result or answer. Thought processes involved while asking and answering these questions are explaining, stating relationships, and comparing and contrasting. |
| Convergent thinking questions usually begin with these words or phrases: | |
| Why... | |
| How... | |
| In what ways... | |
| Examples of convergent thinking questions: | |
| Why was Richard III considered an evil king? | |
| How does gravity differ from electrostatic attraction? | |
| In what ways does Roman drama compare to the heroic epics of Indian literature? |
