Designed for use in grades 5-10, each of these 21 tools are paired with a real-world issue or ethical dilemma to guide students through complex social, emotional, and intellectual topics, and can even be used within your existing lessons. Every chapter introduces a different visual thinking tool and a step-by-step approach for a range of topics from challenging bias and promoting self-awareness to reflecting on social interactions. Stories from the classroom and world, a range of ethical issues as well as student and educator examples illustrate how the tools can be used. Ideal for in-service teachers in grades 5-10 across content areas regardless of curriculums, these tools will inspire your students to be open-minded and actively engage in classroom discussions, while developing new and different perspectives about themselves, your lessons, and the world around them.
