Emilia Palmer is an Early Years and Lower Primary teacher  at Dulwich College in Singapore. She has using the Iceberg tool a lot over the past two years, working on ways to span across 3 year groups (4–7 year-olds). This resource captures some of that experience.  It is a tool she designed for colleagues to use at different conceptual stages, as they judge the children to be ready. It uses the context of a story to introduce the Iceberg tool as a way to understand stories more deeply. This version of the Iceberg is designed to support young children with the concept of an iceberg as a metaphor for deeper thinking. As their conceptual thinking starts to emerge and develop, concepts such as metaphors may need to be broken down into steps. Introducing the model by discussing the visible and invisible parts of an iceberg can help with the idea of deeper thinking. The resource also includes an example from a recent lesson using the book 'The Last Wolf '.
