Encourage your students to take a deep and complex look at topics from various disciplines. Designed for heterogeneous classrooms, the Deep and Complex Look Books promotes powerful thinking and deep learning through the icons of depth and complexity. Your students will demonstrate understanding and express opinions of topics in both written and visual ways as they fill out the two levels of depth and complexity icon templates. Templates can be used with individual students, the entire class, or as a cooperative team project. Asking your students to think in deep and complex ways will help them develop important learning skills that will become habits of mind, and establish a strong foundation as they become life-long learners. Sample templates are provided. For all grades, Full color; 77 pages
