List, Draw, Write is an individual routine designed to provide options for students to record their memories. The options make writing about memories easier so that the focus for students is thinking about the topic. Any options that are available and easily used by students in your setting could be used such as Type, Picture with Caption, or Collage if you are using a computer.

The goal is to facilitate all students making a quick visible recording of their thinking on the topic. This routine can be used as an introduction to a topic, a check for understanding in the middle of a lesson or story being read aloud. It can also be used as a reflection at the end of the assignment reflecting on what the student will remember from completing the learning task and why that part is memorable.
