Wednesday in class we did a Visual Thinking Strategy with the piece of art below.  

(Sorry the picture isn't great…I took the picture of the piece projected onto the SMART board.)

I then lead them in a discussion based on the following questions:

1.  What's going on in the picture?

2. What do you see that makes you say that?

3.  What more can we find?

They all did a great job and really concentrated to find many little details in the picture.

Here's an example,

Student - "I see a tiger fish."

Teacher - "What do you see that makes you say that?"

Student - "The fish has stripes like a tiger."

This is something you all can try at home.

You will be amazed what they see!

There is not a wrong answer!
