After completing a "See, Think, Wonder" visible thinking routine about Health and Fitness, I experienced a  class of students that were more interested and willing to learn during our resistance training unit. The students' level of enthusiasm/determination really seemed to increase as they made a connection with the benefits of weight lifting on personal fitness. Their willingness to engage in vigorous exercise was encouraging, and I really think that the visible thinking strategies that we incorporated really had an impact leading to this success.       - Jason Schafer, Reuther P.E.
