Ellen is the Primary Years Programme (PYP) Coordinator at Belvedere Elementary. Belvedere is a Title I, International Baccalaureate public school. The Professional Development Collaborative at Washington International School has provided her with many opportunities to learn about Harvard's Project Zero Thinking Routines and global competencies through the Washington International School Summer Institute for Teachers. As a result she has created several collections over the past few years with thinking routines and global competency in mind. Her collections have been designed for teachers to use in classrooms, families in her community during the pandemic, and for the Museums Go Global Project. #goglobal

Ellen Rogers's collections

 

Hustle in Our Muscles

<p>I created this collection for families to do together while schools are closed. I will be making a collection a day while we are out of school. Today we will be exploring muscles. The idea is for families to look at the items in the collection and consider what they see in the objects and paintings, what they think, and what they wonder. Families can also watch a free Brainpop video about muscles, watch how animals use their muscles, and listen to the read aloud <u>Sebastian's Roller Skates</u>. At the end of the collection I have provided a few ideas for families about what to do next.</p> <p>If you want to learn more about more about See Think Wonder you can click <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1INKc4Zh4I&amp;t=57s">here</a> to see a video of a teacher using the routine in her classroom.</p>

Investigating the Life of Enslaved People Through Artifacts

<p>In this collection, you will examine artifacts, paintings and text that gives you a window into the life of enslaved people of the US during 1700s and 1800s. I created this content as a way for my 4th grade students to dig deeper in their understanding of enslaved people beyond what our textbook provides. The students are asked to take meaningful analysis of the artifacts and to consider what further inquiries they have. </p><p>#goglobal</p> <p>While you navigate through this collection, consider:</p> <p>See Think Wonder Thinking Routine</p> <ul><li>What do you see?</li><li>What do you think?</li><li>What do you wonder?</li></ul><p>Main, Side, Hidden</p> <p></p> <ul><li>What is the main story?</li><li>What is the side story?</li><li>What is the hidden story?</li></ul><p></p> <p>Unveiling Stories Thinking Routine</p> <ul><li>What is the main story?</li><li>What is the human story?</li><li>What is the world (issues) story?</li><li>What is the new story?</li><li>What is the untold story?</li></ul>
