A thinking routine for identifying prior knowledge and then building on it to extend thinking and wonderingA topic is shared; then participants are then invited to

• To share what they currently understand or know about the topic

• Participants then do some research or inquiring into the topic, making note of how their ideas are changing or growing and eliminating any misconceptions

• Finally participants are asked to share what these new ideas have left them wondering about and what questions they might ask next, thus showing that learning is continuous.

An extension question might be ‘So What?” now that you know all of this, what does it make possible? This can be the step that leads to action taking.
