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.
​
It can be very useful to document the thinking at each stage, although this is not always necessary. If you are wanting to document thinking as your students engage with the routine ​See Think Wonder then this template may be useful.

THE ROUTINE IN ACTION


Here are some examples of how this routine can be used across the curriculum:
  • Read a post I wrote ​Using the See Think Wonder Routine
  • English: to explore images or text
  • History: to examine images from a particular point in history, e.g. The Gallipoli Campaign 
  • Mathematics: to help in interpreting data in a table 
  • Science: to explore scientific theories and investigations

sAdapting the Language

You can make adjustments to the language of the See Think Wonder routine based on the type of stimulus you are using.


As you can see from the template example on the left, I often add observing and noticing to the language of seeing. I also prompt my students to explore beyond thinking just about what they think is going on by asking them to think about the why. This becomes a great assessment tool when examining what prior knowledge students already have and where to take them next.
