- 23. The Stuck Menu Students choose 3 strategies from The Stuck Menu before putting up their hand to ask for help... 1. Leave a question that you find difficult until later, try an easier question first 2. Look back through your notes and previous examples 3. Use a text book/smart-phone 4. Ask someone else in your group 5. Use a dictionary to look up a word Helen
