See, Think, Wonder
This thinking routine, called, “see-think-wonder,” was developed by Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. This three-step routine is a useful tool for challenging students to look carefully at historic artifacts and make reasoned interpretations. Use it repeatedly so students internalize the steps. This strategy is especially useful for elementary students and using historical artifacts and objects to start or deepen inquiry. Also helpful for history teaching is the routine called “What makes you say that?"
