# Conceptual Understanding

A tool to guide conversations about concepts with students

When students have created lines of inquiry based on concepts, I have found some of them will often get this ‘now what?’ look about them. What do I do now? The following chart would be a great tool to guide conversations with students about what they might be doing if they were pursuing a line of inquiry connected to one of these concepts. This idea of connecting verbs with concepts was first shared by [Cristina Milos](https://twitter.com/surreallyno) and I took her idea and added these prompts.
