Today Charlie listed the eight elements of critical thinking on the board and applied these two times to analyze first, a TV item, and second, the beginning of an excellent movie on Jackie Robinson. The first TV item was a three minute clip of what they show as "Dog TV." What is its purpose, from what points-of-view, and with what assumptions? We discussed these questions and wrote out responses on the board. Then we started the movie 49 about Jackie Robinson which forcibly elicited questions using the eight elements of critical thinking -- provoking sincere and thoughtful responses.
