236. Happy Book Birthday: Becoming a Critical Thinker by Julie Bogart!
Hooray! Today\u2019s the publication day of my (Julie\u2019s) new workbook, \u201cBecoming a Critical Thinker.\u201d
If you\u2019re a longtime listener of this podcast, you know that I\u2019m pretty strict about workbooks. They should lead a child to mastery, to embodiment, to knowing the content for themselves.
That\u2019s the approach I took to creating this workbook. I\u2019ve reduced each of the activities to one key point. I've written just enough text for students to get that idea and then to practice it in the activity.
I designed this workbook to help students grow as critical thinkers by turning the focus to their own thoughts. Why do they believe what they believe? What flaws can they notice in their own thinking? How do they reach conclusions?
I dive into all this in-depth in today\u2019s episode. Thank you for joining me on this special day!
