Customer Reviews
Outstanding!
It is an outstanding resource for Japanese teachers. Not only so, but also I can see teachers of any age and any subject can apply the idea. Finding a good image may take a bit of practice. However, from what I have read, the students had great discussions. Therefore, I am convinced that it is worth it. I read Making Thinking Visible as a bible. This book offers great applications on one of the thinking routines. I cannot wait to read another book on different thinking routines!
