This should be the real one that works!!!

Fact 51 "In //I Think-We Think,// students use a two-column sheet of paper to record their own individual ideas (I think), prior to group discussion, and ideas their group or class has that surface through group discussion (We Think). The I think-We Think strategy provides an opportunity for students to think about and record their own ideas prior to engaging in small- or -large group discussions. First, students must explicitly formulate and record their own ideas. When students compare their own ideas (I think) to their group's ideas (We think), they clarify their initial thinking, may modify their own thinking to accommodate new ideas offered through group interaction or recognize how their ideas uniformed the group's thinking. In the concept-development stage of instruction, students can self-assess how closely their individual and group ideas math the scientific ones developed through sense-making discussions and formal concept development. I think-we think can also be used as an individual or whole-class reflection on how students' ideas have changed, contributed to, or been modified throughout the course of instruction. Provide students with a two-column sheet to record their ideas. Begin by having students record their initial, individual ideas. You may choose to collect responses and analyze them to inform instructional decisions as well as determine groupings for a small group work. After students have described their own thinking, provide an opportunity for small groups to engage in discussion and argumentation, recording the ideas that differ among group members. Listen nonjudgementally as students discuss their ideas and encourage as many ideas as possible. In the whole-class discussion, point out the similarities and differences in student thinking and keep a record of ideas to refer to throughout instruction, particularly as they change or are modified."
