1) THINKING TOOLS TEMPLATES (PROJECTABLE ONTO YOUR WHITEBOARD)
The Thinking Tools Templates is designed to help make it easy to weave thinking tools into every classroom lesson across your school, every day. I firmly believe you will set your students up for life when you teach them how to use thinking tools as a natural way of learning. You’ll also have a lot of fun together and inject a vibrant energy into your classrooms.
These 34 templates, taken from my best-selling book, Reflections on Classroom Thinking Strategies (11th edition) by Eric Frangenheim, form a core part of what I refer to as the ‘Thinking Classroom’ and are designed to be easy to use and quick to access. All you need to do is project a template onto your whiteboard and use a whiteboard pen to record the ideas flowing from your students. These templates enable you to delve straight into your lesson. They act as a springboard for students to get busy, to ‘own the thinking’ and to become confident in scaffolding their ideas. You can also print these templates so your students may individually and in groups capture their ideas on paper. This ebook will change your classroom energy and students’ thinking potential for the better.

Print multiple copies of these 34 thinking tools templates (also known as ‘graphic organisers’) for your students in A3 or A4 size.
3) CARTOON CONVERSATIONS (On Teaching, Learning and Life)
Taken from the sayings and cartoons from ‘Reflections on Classroom Thinking Strategies’ (11th edition 2017. © Eric Frangenheim, Rodin Educational Consultancy)
Cartoon Conversations will help to invigorate the vibrancy, engagement and higher-order thinking in your entire school community. These cartoons and reflective questions are intended to help children and young people learn the art of conversation.
Teachers, educators, parents and carers will find these cartoons are a simple, fun and challenging way to encourage and enable young people to be deeper thinkers, to see the bigger picture and to consider others’ views as well as their own.
As an education consultant, I have used these cartoons for many years with great success in classrooms as a natural method of teaching and engaging with students, as well as in teacher professional development workshops, staff meetings and corporate workshops with educators and business leaders.
I invite you to have a lot of fun with this book and to find a way to make it your own – whether in your classroom, board room, or home.
A last note for teachers: This book shows you how to teach thinking tools confidently so you can love your job more and create your ultimate thinking classroom. Importantly, it also guides you to teach your students how to use thinking tools so they can become vibrant, independent thinkers. ‘Reflections’ has sold 35,000 copies and remains a trusted teaching resource for teachers and graduates.
Remember:
“The best learning takes place when the teacher is quiet.
But this depends on:
i) A clear question or activity (containing a task verb);
ii) An appropriate thinking tool (e.g. a Double Bubble Map); and
iii) A clear time frame (e.g. you have 20 minutes: go!)”
Enjoy!
