Introduction Alertness to situations that call for thinking and positive attitudes toward thinking and learning are tremendously important that is why this research about visible thinking was possible. This project is well oriented towards practicing in classrooms. Besides developing the skills and abilities students need in the real world, to develop some routines to make people awake and think is real learning process. Taking both processes together will make successful students. Successful students not only will succeed themselves the entire community will see the benefits of have thinking students.

Visible thinking Visible thinking is mostly for teachers and the educational institutions that might want to develop a culture of thinking in the students. Visible thinking is the way to integrate students development thinking with the content learning through routines. Some of the goals that this research has are: To develop students curiosity, concern To develop deeper understaning. To develop greater motivation. To development of learners' thinking and learning abilities This research works in this way: first of all practice if what makes visible thinking visible by thinking routines you can develop it. Secondly through strategies that extent student thinking. Because the idea of visible thinking helps to make concrete what a thoughtful classroom might look like Routines are always present in the classroom they are the basic to operate well in the classroom. These routines can be any procedure to achieve any learning goal. Routines can be established as rules to control the behavior of students at the moment of working. Some examples of routines at the classrooms are: answering

questionnaires, reading specific text, the meaning of a poem, asking verbal questions to make students think and talk about what they know. Going deeply into what set a routines might be consider to develop this visible thinking we can mention: core routines: routines that allow complex inquiries like puzzles; routines that that looks for explanations think and share; some of them that make students reflect the way they used to think and now how they think; some routines that look for different points of view not just one; some routines that make you justify your point of view. Then comes the creative routines that allow students make decisions; routines that let students have more than one options to make decisions; students must be allow to generate questions and look for differnts points of view inside themselves. Also to develop visible thinking on students they must be guide to separate facts from feelings in order to construct a solid judgment opinion to look for the thruth.
