The document contains instructions for facilitating Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) practice sessions for different grade levels from K-8. The facilitator is directed to have participants look at a picture, ask what they see happening and what evidence they notice, and encourage further discussion by having students paraphrase, point, and link ideas. The instructions are repeated for grades K-1, 6, 7, and 8 with minor variations.
