"Cognitive strategies are identified as "internal processes by which learned select and modify their ways of attending, learning, remembering and thinking" (Gagne, Brigg, and Wagner, 1988, p. 67). Four lessons for using an objective strategy for different topics of conversation for developing cognition on those topics are detailed below. Lesson One This lesson is based on guided questioning and makes use of metaphor and analogy with prior knowledge and new knowledge. This approach is interactive, with the instructor asking a series of questions. The target group for this exercise is a high-school first-year English class learning to analyze poetry. The first line of a poem is given attention. The readers should predict the meaning of the entire poem from the first line. Then, the group should read the poem silently and aloud, perhaps twice. "
