What is See Think Wonder Write?

Are you ready to ignite learning and engagement within your classroom? In this writing morning work pack, photographs are used to spark thinking, questioning, analyzing, evaluating, describing, inferring, and meaningful writing! Students will also learn through lively and vivid discussions with their peers about the photographs.

Writing morning work that develops critical thinking skills! 

Why is critical thinking important to my students?

Children are not born with the ability to think critically – as teachers, we need FOSTER critical thinking by intentionally providing time to think and WRITE about the world around them!

Critical thinking is an essential skill for life-long learners and unless we explicitly integrate resources and activities that foster these skills, many students will not grow to be confident, independent learners who can think for themselves and develop connections between content areas.

⭐️ What’s Included in See Think Wonder Write?

• A clickable table of contents to quickly jump through the photographs as you find the one you need or want
• Differentiated writing templates. Even kindergarten students can draw and label their thinking!
• 75 beautiful photographs to get you started (ANY photograph you find or have can be used with the templates! It’s the pack that never ends!)
• 75 coordinating fast fact sheets to give YOU, the teacher, information to discuss the photograph and topic with your students
• Color and printer-friendly See Think Wonder Write posters to guide your students and display within your classroom
• Easy to follow direction pages
• A list of the MANY various ways you can use this product.

⭐️ What photographs are included in the writing morning work resource?

I've included a picture of the table of contents in the Preview File of this product. I encourage you to download the free preview file to see all of the photographs that are already included in this resource. The photographs cover topics such as:

• Weather
• Weather instruments
• Antiques and vintage items
• Technology
• Animals
• Household objects
• American symbols
• Math tools
• Clouds
• ...and SO much more!

➡️  How does See Think Wonder Write work?

Using photographs, students will be pre-exposed to content you are teaching later on in the day, or activate background knowledge for a multitude of fun topics! This critical thinking resource helps you integrate science and social studies into your day with ease!

1) Provide students with one of the many differentiated writing templates

2) Display a photograph using a projector, document camera, or Smart Board.

THIS RESOURCE IS DIGITAL FRIENDLY! The only pages you really need to print are the writing pages that your students will be using. The rest can be displayed on your screen. You can also print out the photograph. *There are 75 beautiful photographs included in this pack, but you can use ANY photos for this activity! In my classroom, I choose photographs based on what we are going to learn later on in the day for pre-exposure. 

3) Now, it’s time for your students to think and write! *Students will write and describe what they see in the photograph, what they think about the photograph, and what they are wondering. This activity encourages great observation skills, vivid vocabulary, connections, descriptive writing, and curiosity!

4) It’s time to TALK about our thinking! Use the fast fact pages! Each of the 75 beautiful photographs includes a fast fact page with four facts and pieces of information about the topic/object of the photograph. You can use this page to teach your students about the topic, especially if it is one that both you and your kids are unfamiliar with.

➡️ What if I want more photographs to use for the entire year?

Check out my See Think Wonder Write EXPANSION PACK found HERE! It provides you with an ADDITIONAL 100 photographs and fast fact sheets. You can also get the BUNDLE PACK and conveniently get all of the materials from both sets in one digital download. The BUNDLE PACK can be found by clicking HERE.

I highly recommend downloading the Free Preview File to truly see what this pack is all about! I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “What a great resource! My students have been extremely engaged in working to figuring out what each image is showing and I've been completely thrilled by how this has helped push their thinking and extend their "wonders" each time we've used this. The volume of writing and attention to detail I've seen in my students since we started using this resource is amazing!!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Love! Love! Love! I love this resource! These picture prompts are so engaging. They need to be modeled, but they can be used in Social studies, science, or sent home as homework. They can also be used in the writing/ELA block. They can be tied into whatever content you are working with. Can also be projected on the SMART board for group conversations. Love the differentiated writing embedded in the resource! I use them weekly if not 3 times a week in my class! Thank you!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This has been such a great resource for morning work in my 1st grade classroom! My students have gotten so much better at writing sentences and spelling words independently. The pictures were very engaging to them, and they were always excited to see what the picture was as they walked into the classroom each morning. The information provided about each picture also made for quality discussions to start each day.”
