See Think Wonder used with a cover to a fiction book
How will participants use the See Think Wonder exercise in their own context?
- In teaching challenging vocabulary words, this exercise would be helpful to have images that illustrate the word and have them create their own details and curiosity
- Push the “Picture Walk” process further
- As a way to get students into a discussion
- Cross check what students predicted with what actually happened in a text
- Nice because there is no wrong answer
- Build curiosity in wanting to know what will happen

Doodle While You Learn participant reactions:
- Can be challenging to doodle “on command” – it often naturally happens
- Doodling schema: we are used to doodling is more natural than directly translating text
- ESL student find this helpful
- Started taking notes b/c content was interesting
- Doodling can be relaxing, consciously connecting doodles to text was a different process
- Picked up bits and pieces of info while doodling, made paragragh more interesting because specific words in text were interesting
