This document describes a thinking routine called "Colour-Symbol-Image" where students make connections between the content they are learning and their own experiences. For each main idea, students choose a color, symbol, and picture to represent it. Recently, students used this routine to reflect on books teaching positive values like generosity, honesty, and prudence. They provided examples like choosing the color red for generosity because it comes from the heart, or a picture of a child helping another with a rope to represent prudence. The routine allows students to make their own interpretations as long as they provide reasoning.
