More stuff:

  • 44 questions help guide students through the slideshow lesson and critical thinking process.

ABOUT THE LESSON:

Students explore 3 critical thinking strategies:

  • USE CRITERIA to analyze and evaluate whether I am lying.

  • Become more FULL MINDED and try to figure out what other information you need to figure out if I’m lying.

  • Try to be more OPEN MINDED and wonder how the other point of view might be correct.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE LESSON:

  • Distance Learning friendly: Edit the Microsoft Powerpoint™ and Google Slides™ files 

  • Answer key NOT provided. This is an open-ended real world problem. Sample answers are not provided so that students are not guided towards the "right" answer. 

  • EMAIL ME at Mike@educircles.org if you want a hint so you can provide some more clues to your students.


This lesson includes a few slides and concepts from the 6Cs CRITICAL THINKING chapter of the GROWTH MINDSET 21st Century Learning bundle.
