Experiencing the 1960s via GCI - Space City Archives

We used the photo above to generate initial thoughts via the Visible Thinking routine "I see - I think - I wonder"

At one point, we found clusters of students gathering around their post-it note "idea factory", debating the merits of space exploration vs exploring the depths of the ocean... Or fighting poverty affecting inner-city families.

It was a beautiful day to gain perspective and formulate insights. Our sophomores made us proud...
