Charlie was given two worksheets today with sentence starters for the eight elements of critical thinking as applied to a scene in a film we watched and evaluated. He had to articulate and write on the sheet, the purpose of the scene as set in the whole, the viewpoints he could discern and how they fit together, a question that could be asked, an assumption that either the viewer or a character made or could make, and so forth. He did extremely well. He is truly understanding the CT terms now and seeing how to apply them better. We did this a second time with an additional scene, completing half of the second worksheet. We will finish this next week.
