At the beginning of each unit teachers present essential questions that are hovering over each lesson and are constantly referred to throughout the unit.

Teaching students good learning strategies would ensure that they know how to acquire new knowledge

Students who use appropriate strategies to understand and remember what they read, such as underlining important parts of the texts or discussing what they read with other people, perform at least 73 points higher in the PISA assessment—that is, one full proficiency level or nearly two full school years
