See, Think, Wonder at FlexSchool
Our fifth and sixth-grade students recently learned about temperature changes in the Middle Ages through the 20th century in Europe and made inferences about them from a graph by completing a “See, Think, Wonder” – a Visual Thinking Routine from Harvard Graduate School of Education.
During the activity, our students were deeply engaged while looking at, analyzing, and taking notes on the graph.
Here's what they had to say about the experience:
- "I wanted to let you know that this isn't my least favorite class anymore."
- "Yeah, I agree. It's nice that students get to talk and lead the class to examine stuff like this graph. I can see what it's about and make observations about it even if it's not always right. It's more fun than sitting while a teacher talks at you about what you should know."
- "Yeah, I like that too! That's why this is my favorite class."
