Why Book Creator and Thinking Routines?

Using Book Creator to develop thinking routines can occur across a range of structures.

Thinking routines are a combination of activities that teachers have been using for many years. They have been put together by the Project Zero team. Thinking routines play a crucial role in making student thinking more visible so that we plan more effective learning pathways for our students.
