Today we worked on four of the intellectual traits in critical thinking: intellectual curiosity, fairmindedness, intellectual humility, and confidence in reason. These are written on the whiteboard. In the column next to this list, Charlie found antonyms to each, opposites that help clarify what the terms mean. After we worked through this, Charlie set up a paper in MLA format and prepared to write four sentences to illustrate the Intellectual Traits. For content we watched about ten minutes of a movie and Charlie was able to identify curiosity, the opposite of humility (pride) in one of the characters, humility, and confidence. He wrote four sentences in a list on his MLA prepared paper.
