Critical thinking

The Critical and creative thinking learning continuum is organised into four interrelated elements,
each detailing differing aspects of thinking. The elements are not a taxonomy of thinking. Rather,
each makes its own contribution to learning and needs to be explicitly and simultaneously developed.
Inquiring identifying, exploring and organising information and ideas
Generating ideas, possibilities and actions
Reflecting on thinking and processes
Analysing, synthesising and evaluating reasoning and procedures

were right/wrong or if we learnt something new.

Wk 10 Children to evaluate the activities, which was their favourite


and why or order from most favourite to least.
Paint paper mache

This seems a bit structured. I think once we have created the ideas list we would do a thesis at the start
of each lesson/activity then complete an activity or two each lesson or week, then the evaluation right at
the end- but you get the idea J We could use the same template for the recording of the thesis/result so
the children get familiar with it and make them into a book so the children could refer back to it at the
evaluation stage?

Some activity ideas:
