520    "Visible Thinking is a research-based approach to teaching
       thinking that develops students' thinking dispositions, 
       while at the same time deepening their understanding of 
       the topics they study. Rather than a set of fixed lessons,
       Visible Thinking is an extensive and adaptable collection 
       of practices that include thinking routines and the 
       documentation of student thinking. The routines are a 
       central element of the practical, functional and 
       accessible nature of Visible Thinking. Thinking routines 
       are easy to use mini-strategies that are repeatedly used 
       in the classroom. They are a small set of questions or a 
       short sequence of steps that can be used across various 
       grade levels and content. Each routine targets a different
       type of thinking and by bringing their own content, 
       teachers can integrate the routines into the fabric of 
       their classrooms. Thinking Routines help direct student 
       thinking and structure classroom discussion. Thinking 
       becomes visible as the students' different viewpoints are 
       expressed, documented, discussed and reflected upon"--
