Sometimes what you get is far more than what you first see. The third routine in the Building Community series asks participants to engage in a See, Think, Wonder strategy. Small groups analyze a projected image, infer what is happening, create a title for the image, and share their analysis with the class.

Instructional Ideas
- Instructors must find an intriguing image to project for the class; however, a link to the New York Times "What's Going On in this Picture?" feature is provided
- As pupils become more comfortable with the various routines, have a volunteer lead one of the opening or closing routines
Classroom Considerations
- Each of the routines, once learned, are designed to last from 5 to 10 minutes
- Third in a series of routines, designed to be taught in order, used at the beginning or end of a class
- Requires a projection device to display the image
- For those unfamiliar with See, Think, Wonder, a link is provided to a page that describes the strategy
Pros
- An overview of the routines, with objectives and suggestions for both face-to-face learning and remote learning situations, may be found by following the link in the Includes Materials Section
Cons
- None
