Transcribe: Observations on Fixing the Road, 11-5-2009

On a walk to see the horses we observed a work crew working on road repairs. One of the men was using a torch to put fire on the road. One of the children in the class was enthralled by this process...here are his ideas! What does this conversation tell you about this child's thinking? How do the questions I asked add or detract from his thought processes? Where could I have gone from here? (as it turns out they were more interested in bikes than the road repairs when they got back to school so it didn't go anywhere...)
