Marcel had two items to be enhanced through critical thinking. One was a storyboard for which we brainstormed ten topics. Talking out the prompt isolated the need for ten concepts and then he quickly came up with methods to list for the desired effect. The other was a new prompt -- a quote from John F. Kennedy to be used as the 'moral' of the essay. It is 20 minutes of timed writing. We pulled apart the key words (concepts) in the prompt and discovered each to be an extreme term used at the highest and lowest degrees. Marcel requested that I write on my own for a sample while he was writing. We did not have quite enough time, but ten minutes of extreme focus gave a great start.
