Thought Bubbles

Worksheet Description

It prompts students to record their initial ideas, questions they begin to have as they delve into a topic, how their thinking evolves, and their current thoughts after engaging with the material. The playful design with a character in a thinking pose encourages students to consider their learning as an active and evolving process.
