  1. The Past Helps Us Understand the Present

  2. Looking at Pictures Today we are going to look at some images by using the strategy Jot Thoughts.

  3. Jot Thoughts - Observations Every table has this picture. Using one sticky note for each thought, write your observations of the picture and put them on your center mat. (Think THE WHITE HAT) You have 2 minutes.

  4. Jot Thoughts Together with your table group, sort your observation sticky notes into categories, piling the duplicates on top of each other. Let’s share our observations.

  5. Jot Thoughts - Questions Now let’s think about questions we may have about the picture. Using one pink sticky note for each question, write some questions you have about the picture. You have 2 minutes.

  6. Jot Thoughts Together with your table group, sort your question sticky notes into categories, piling the duplicates on top of each other. Let’s share our questions.

  7. Round Robin - Reflections With your table group, share out how this picture from the past helps us understand the present. Think about connections. We’ll spin the spinner to see who will start.
