Question? Think. Answer!
Class discussions can be used to teach and improve critical thinking skills for students in Pre-K to 12th grade. (1) Students will be provided with developmentally appropriate media ex. book/ journal article/movie to read or watch and examine for 15-20 minutes. The reading material should be composed of a book/article with specific details and an ending intended to leave students wondering and provoke thoughts about possible conclusions. If a movie is used, it should be short with suspense to create thought about possible conclusions as well. (2) The teacher will pose open ended questions for students to answer orally. Older students will be encouraged to write with their own questions that they may have after examining.
