Thinking Routine: Connect, Extend, Challenge

This week Sia introduced the Prep Neighbourhood to the Visible Thinking Routine, Connect, Extend, Challenge. Sia read the big book Caterpillars by Robin Green to the Neighbourhood and after reading the book everyone discussed, what they knew (Connect), what they didn't know (Extend) and what was really hard to understand (Challenge). Below is what was recorded from the rich discussion.

You could try this thinking routine at home after a shared reading experience. Please click on the link below if you would like to read more about the Connect, Extend, Challenge.
