This document describes the "Compass Points" thinking routine used to examine propositions or ideas. The routine involves exploring four sides of an idea: what excites you (E), what worries you (W), what else you need to know (N), and your current stance (S). Students use a compass-points worksheet to record their individual and group thoughts on a given proposition. The routine is intended to help students thoroughly evaluate an idea before expressing an opinion. It provides a structured way for students to discuss collaborating with the school's solidarity foundation by contributing art department resources.
