Lightbulb moment

Earlier this week, my first block class represented fiercely on their activator/do now. I had scanned a copy of a painting for the students to view and had them answer the following questions about it: What do you see? What do you think? What do you wonder?

What is usually a 5-10 minute activity turned into a 45-minute powerful discussion of the themes, main ideas, and connections presented in our current text. I love it when everything clicks!!
