(What IS the content?) • Is the content of the Area of Knowledge invented or discovered? • What constitutes a fact within the Area of Knowledge? • What are the primary means by which truth is established? • To what degree is certainty attainable?

  12. The Foundation for Critical Thinking

  13. Elements of Critical Thought

  14. Involving The Rest of the Staff • Align the elements of critical thought with the scoring criteria for your IB assessments. • Teach students the vocabulary and framework of the elements of critical thought. • Evaluate student work in terms of the elements of critical thought.
