The teachers at the WIS Primary School consistently use Project Zero instructional strategies to help their students think about their learning. An excellent example of applying ideas from the making thinking visible routines occurred in Foun Tang’s 4th-grade classroom. Foun challenged her students to think about how they learn and create a visible representation of their learning processes.

As you can see from the two images, the students used color, shapes, textures, and space to communicate how they learned. Each student wrote up their interpretation and added it under their visual. While the end product is essential, it was the process of guiding students to reflect to then think of ways to represent their ideas that made this project valuable. I like how Foun pushes her students to be abstract thinkers making visual connections in how they learn.
