Critical thinking (50 minutes)

Goal: This prep is for you to describe critical thinking

  • After watching the video, how would you explain what critical thinking is to a 6th grader? Write out your definition to a maximum of 250 words

    • Make sure you use a grammar tool, such as Grammarly, to correct your English
    • Create this in a Google doc

  • Post the link to your Google Doc on the Slack in thread about “Critical Thinking”

    • If no one has created the Slack thread, start it
    • Make sure your Google Doc can be commented by anyone

  • This should be done by Thursday evening at 20:00 before your next class

  • Make sure you react to the definitions you liked with a ‘thumbs up’ emoji
