History of ideas – Thinking Routine

“History of ideas” is a  thinking routine that has been developed to help thinkers recognise that ideas aren’t formed and developed in isolation; they are influenced by thinking histories.

• Learners are asked to reflect on what are the current ideas that they hold about a given topic, perspective, etc?
• Learners are asked to analyse what might have influenced this idea? Was it a personal experience, etc?
• Learners are then asked to analyse and consider what they might do with this idea, perspective in the future?
