Page 2 Instructions:
Encourage students to sketch an image inspired by the lesson. This sketch can later be used by a peer to create another Connect-Extend-Challenge reflection about the sketch. Once finished, students revisit their original graphic organizer and add one more thought to each column. This process encourages creativity, collaboration, and deeper reflection.
