Abstract:
In order to help students explore their prior knowledge and initiate creative and critical thinking about a new topic, students are shown a work of art at the begining of a new unit. The subject matter of the work of art is related to the general topic of the new unit. Students then write on 3 prompts reflecting on the work of art:
1) What do I see?
2) What do I think?
3) I wonder ...
I explain in more detail how these prompts are used to initiate critical thinking in the attached document.

I love the idea of integrating art into your new units as the unit "set." What a great way to encourage student involvement and incorporate higher order thinking skills!
I agree with Pete that this looks like a great way to introduce students to the new unit in a creative way. Do you have any URLs of a few of the works of art?
Also, how would you determine if this practice is more effective than what you were doing before?
