Connect – Extend – Challenge

A thinking routine for connecting new ideas to prior knowledge

Connect: How are the ideas and information presented connected to what you already knew?

Extend: What new ideas did you get that extended or pushed your thinking in new directions?

Challenge: What is still challenging or confusing for you to get your mind around? What questions, wonderings or puzzles do you now have?
