Documenting Thinking In this routine, students are generally sharing their thinking at each step along the way before moving on to the next one. This allows the class to build on the group's thinking and often results in richer discussions. Allow time for the group to review each of the prompts, discussing how their thinking developed during the routine.
THE ROUTINE IN ACTION
Here are some examples of how this routine can be used across the curriculum:
Visual Art: make observations, explain interpretations about an abstract piece of art
Science: exploring scientific concepts (see image below)
