* Combine the Step Inside routine with a Chalk Talk. Assign students a role in which they must write in the Chalk Talk from that point of view.

These routines work well in the classroom and at home. Using the Chalk Talk routine at home with my kids provided more information than we might have had in a conversation because it was recorded on paper. Instead of just saying, "How was your day?" and getting a one word response, I was able to write "Why was your day good?" and learn more detailed information about their day. I'm excited about the effectiveness of this routine.

This routine has helped enhance students' writing. Last year I would sometimes get the groans, "Is this a CERC?" This year the kids are like, "Okay! I've got this!" They are very confident, and their evidence and reasoning are linking together. "

The Toolbox organizes the Thinking Routines into categories that describe the types of thinking the routines help to facilitate. Some routines appear in more than one category, and some routines have different versions that offer modifications for specific age groups or more specific conceptual challenges.
