In Case You Need an Idea for Your Secret Friend...
I Used to Think...But Now I Think
As we support students in understanding and analyzing their thinking in relation to new concepts, this is a tremendous strategy. The attached PDF provides background information on this strategy, as well as tips for launching it. The suggestion is to have students write about their initial thinking and how it has changed, but I would challenge you to teach students to also use this strategy verbally. This is a great talking stem to get kiddos talking to a partner about their background knowledge and how their thinking has changed after the new information you have exposed them to. They will learn and stretch so much from hearing how their partner's thinking has changed as well!
