B
involve students in setting lesson objectives

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One simple yet effective way to help students think divergently is by asking open-ended questions. [12] Open-ended questions are defined as ones that cannot be answered by “yes” or “no.” The more open a question is, the more likely students will be able to come up with many different answers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Divergent questions are open-ended questions by nature since they promote the discovery of multiple plausible responses or answers to a problem. They also promote increased student engagement in classroom learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -Have students first brainstorm individually to stimulate thinking before moving into a group exercise. Provide guidance and motivation for students to initially focus on quantity of ideas over quality. Help students understand that divergence is about creating choices, and convergence is about making choices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing, “non-linear” manner, such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion.
