Friday Freebie!

This week my Friday Freebie is a template that is commonly used in expeditionary learning.  This Noticing and Wondering chart in an editable MS word format.  It can be used in a variety of ways to promote student critical thinking and inquiry skills about a topic.  For example, this week I used this template as a note catcher and question catcher for a video on Earth Science.  Next week, I will use it to preview content for an upcoming project by having students examine pictures, documents, and reading passages on a specific topic.

Noticings are things that students notice and think are important and/or interesting.  Noticings can include statements, facts, opinions, or observations. Wonderings are questions.

Happy Friday!
