Step Inside
A routine for capturing inside perspectives.
Description: The Step Inside thinking routine structures students’ thinking and deepens their understanding about a person/thing. It focuses on perspective and asks the learner to hypothesize what this person/thing observes, understands, believes, cares about, and questions. This routine pushes students further than what they might do in the Circle of Viewpoints thinking routine.
How to Use the Strategy: Refer to pages 178-184 in the book Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding, and Independence for All Learners. Access online instructions here at Harvard Project Zero. See the routine in practice here at Harvard Project Zero. Content Application: * Combine the Step Inside routine with a Chalk Talk. Assign students a role in which they must write in the Chalk Talk from that point of view.
