  2. Independent Critical Thinking active articulate active reading & active listening INPUT = be able to infer & relate concepts/ideas (factors, virtues, etc.) = be able to think critically about information/ideas clear, cohesive speaking & writing OUTPUT = be able to further synthesize, evaluate information/ideas = be able to express critical thinking 2

  3. Independent Critical Thinking Once you are equipped to be a critically thinking listener and reader, then you are equipped to be an articulate speaker and writer. As your understanding of history deepens, your skills in language arts will grow. The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

  21. Inspired by For teachers: 90 seconds to prepare in pairs, then… Pass the mic A parent sees you in the parking lot and wants to ask a quick question… What’s the four worlds thing my child is talking about? For students: You’re at a family gathering and your mom is telling your aunt about your history class being supported by USC. She asks you… Tell her about the four worlds thing. 21

  22. Social Sciences & Language Arts Integration independent critical thinking GOAL: “Not knowing an answer is very uncomfortable. The process of good reasoning requires us to delay landing on an answer. It requires us to doubt any preconceived ideas and seek for why an answer might be wrong. [Students] must delay an answer. In order for students to deeply reason, they must sustain doubt. They must learn to enjoy the muddle of looking for holes in a theory. If we want students to reason deeply we must make this process of reasoning the main point of academics.” That's Why: Examining Reasoning and Justification Catherine Underwood and Kathryn Gullo Both are National Board Certified Teachers and UCLA Writing Project Fellows in LAUSD.

  25. Four Worlds │ 4W analysis Attention all recipients of this file: First, thank you for opening this powerpoint and considering using it!  Whether the file was sent to you directly from Teresa or relayed by a colleague, CALIS and USC rely on your professionalism for proper credits and sourcing: Materials developed by or through CALIS are made available online via a database and website that serve as a digital file cabinet of teaching resources. Materials are free in support of teachers and students, and to promote curriculum reform. When teachers or other CALIS partners write, adapt, or collaborate on materials —they are cited. The source information includes their affiliated schools or organizations. As others download and further adapt these materials—all credit and source lines, for teachers as well of for USC CALIS, should remain in tact as the original source.
