Zoom In is a thinking routine. As each section is revealed, students make new inferences. Students come to the realization that thinking is a process and minds can be changed based on new understandings.
How to use the strategy:
1. Put an image or several ones and ask the students to look closely and tell you what do they see, what do you think this is, and why do you think so?
2. Reveal more of the image and ask your students what are the new things that you see, have you changed your previous idea?
3. Repeat steps two & three until the whole image has been revealed.
I created this Zoom In activity for grade 6 students as a recall of what they've learned about Microsoft Excel last year. Students were so engaged and loved it, they kept on guessing and they were so happy when they guessed it right. I really think that using this thinking routine would make your session more interesting and engaging. Feel free to edit it according to your preference.
