Watch this video, which introduces teachers to practical strategies that help students observe carefully, think critically, and ask meaningful questions. It demonstrates how routines such as See, Think, Wonder and Think, Puzzle, Explore can spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and promote reflection across different subjects. The classroom examples highlight how these routines support inquiry-based learning and foster a culture of thoughtful discussion. If your district blocks YouTube, the video may not be viewable on school networks.

In the Classroom

Begin a new unit by showing students an image, a short video clip, or an artifact related to the topic. Have them record what they see, what they think it means, and what they wonder about. As a class, brainstorm what students think they know, what puzzles or questions they have, and how they could explore further. Have them post ideas on a shared chart or Padlet, reviewed here to revisit and update throughout the unit. Use the Compass Points Routine (N = Needs, E = Excitements, S = Suggestions, W = Worries) before a group project or discussion. It helps students clarify their thoughts, consider multiple perspectives, and make balanced decisions.
