Bridge to Critical Thinking
Conversations with your classroom volunteer about critical thinking
We finished reading that story.
Volunteers, teachers, students, children…we all use critical
thinking skills in our personal lives.
Why does this matter?
• reading articles• discussion and debate• using maps• sorting equations
Which activities require deeper thinking?
Level One: What did the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and Dorothy each want?
Level Two: What are some examples of irony in the Wizard of Oz?
Level Three: How does the Wizard of Oz compare to European fairy tales, such as those by the Brothers Grimm?
Level Four: What are the ways in which the characters and political dynamics in Oz could be likened to real-life people and political dynamics during the author’s time and during our current time?
Be a question asker (instead of an answer giver).
Focus students’ attention where it can do the most good.
What is the structure where you work? What would happen if it were different?
