Class experience
Welcome to Critical Thinking for Middle School students. It's becoming extremely important and valuable for students to engage with topics from the stance of a critical thinker. But, many students aren't well-equipped to do so. This is a fun beginners course into what critical thinking is, how to do it and allows the students full responsibility of engaging with their own resources. The topics will be relevant to the middle school age. My experience as a current lecturer in Critical...
To have students achieve the skills and confidence in how to critically think through important issues.
I have am a teacher with over 10 years of international experience of teaching in British and American Schools with Middle School and High School students. I have taught in all major areas of core curriculum, inclusive of elective curriculum. 4 of my 10 years of teaching have been focused around teaching in critical thinking to middle school and high school students. I am also a lecturer at the Global Center for Advanced Studies in the areas of Critical Thinking. This experience make me highly qualified to teach this course in Critical Theory. I am an author in Critical Theory, Postmodernism and Pop culture. I have references in the area of Critical Thinking should they be requested.
Homework Offered
Each week students will be required to take an issue they choose and present a 1-2 argument on their topic of choice. The resources are NOT given by the teacher - part of the critical thinking process is for students to discover trusted sources of information.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
All assessments will be done in class.Grades Offered
There will be no external resources given. All resources are the responsibility of the student and only the student.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
All content will be age appropriate. THERE WILL BE NO: sexual, political or sensitive content explored.
No resources other than the students personal views will be used. We will discuss what critical thinking is in Class 1 and why it is important and give students an example of how to present arguments and their findings. Their responsibility is to find relevant resources to back up their arguments. BIBLIOGRAPHY for Introductory class: ———— Rebecca Stobaugh Assessing Critical Thinking in Middle and High Schools: Meeting the Common Core 1st Edition ISBN-13: 978-1596672338, ISBN-10: 1596672331 ———- Part of the process of critical thinking is for the student to find and vet their own resources - this will be part of their in-class assignment and assessment. We will talk about how to do this in WEEK 1, where we explore whether or not peer pressure can be viewed as beneficial - which will be the initial example of how to assess resources. Again, the Teacher will not be responsible to give these resources to students.
