Rather than a set of fixed lessons, Visible Thinking is a varied collection of practices, including thinking routines?small sets of questions or a short sequence of steps?as well as the documentation of student thinking. Using this process thinking becomes visible as the students' different viewpoints are expressed, documented, discussed and reflected upon.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps direct student thinking and structure classroom discussion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan be applied with students at all grade levels and in all content areas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes easy-to-implement classroom strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also comes with a DVD of video clips featuring Visible Thinking in practice in different classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can classrooms become places of intellectual stimulation where learning is viewed not in test scores but in the development of individuals who can think, plan, create, question, and engage independently as learners?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Thinking Visible\u003c\/i\u003e offers educators research-based solutions for creating just such cultures of thinking.
