Average rating:4.8Number of reviews:(6)
Students will practice deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills to explain what happened in a puzzling situation like, "There's a man hiding in the sunlight."
Class experience
Want to feel like Sherlock Holmes? Solve some mystery puzzles with your classmates. Ask yes/no questions to reveal details. Then solve the mystery by telling the story of why the man is hiding in the sunlight, for example. These puzzles are real-world possible but carefully crafted for fun, I mean, skills-building. Along the way, we'll practice some real critical thinking skills, including careful reasoning (logical deduction). You'll need to pay close attention to your classmates'...
Students will practice critical thinking skills, including careful reasoning with both deduction and induction. They will also practice being precise, questioning assumptions, and developing a line of inquiry.
I've taught English for many years, and this is one of our (students and my) favorite ways to practice critical thinking with word puzzles. I have an MA in English, and there are more details in the profile.
