Overview
Below is a collection of what Tom calls “Look to Learn” activities. Rather than be told, what these are, he thinks it’s a pretty good idea for you to explore the links below and learn for yourself.
After this “discovery immersion” session, you should be able to answer the following questions:
- What are the key components of the activity format?
- What do you think the purpose of these activities are?
- What would be the educational value of such activities?
- Open-ended: why do you think the Thinking Routines are used?
- Personal value: copy the links for 3-5 examples that you could use with students immediately.
