How is the idea or object connected to something you know about?
What new ideas or impressions do you have that extended your thinking in new directions?

Used to Think... Now I Think...(Harvard Graduate School of Education)-
A routine for reflecting on how and why our thinking has changed.
Remind students of the topic you want them to consider.
It could be the ideal itself—fairness, truth, understanding, or creativity—or it could be the unit you are studying.
Have students write a response using each of the sentence stems: • I used to think...• Now, I think...
I will have my students use this thinking routine when we study the unit on Individual Development and what influences our development.
