Re: [tips] Reciprocal Teaching to help poor readers
Thanks for the info Jean. For a number of years I have been looking for ways to help the poor readers in my classes. Now and then (more now) I encounter students with serious reading comprehension problems. I think some interaction activities like this might prove valuable, if only to model good reading and understanding. Gary Gerald L.

[tips] critical thinking images?
Tipsters: I introduce and develop exercises in my class to teach critical thinking. I begin by having students learn some basic guidelines. I am trying to develop graphic images that can be associated with the guidelines, but my creative imagination seems to be rather flat. So I thought that creative tipsters might be able to help. I have developed some graphic images for six of the guidelines, but am stumbling on the other two. At the same time, you may have better ideas for any of the guidelines. I appreciate any help you can muster! Gary 1. Ask questions--a student at a desk with hand raised. 2. Define terms--a dictionary 3. Examine the evidence--a detective's magnifying glass 4. Tolerate uncertainty--a cartoon face with a big question mark 5. Avoid emotional reasoning--a monkey with a briefcase and the phrase no monkey business? Well... I did think of some caricature of a politician, but thought this would not register with my students. 6. Examine different viewpoints--a picture of the fabled elephant felt up by the blind men 7. Don't over-simplify-- 8. Examine assumptions and biases Gerald L.

for 7, a black and white image with X or the scales of justice for 8, picture of Socrates or statue of The Thinker? - Original Message - From: Gerald Peterson To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 7:37 PM Subject: [tips] critical thinking images?

Re: [tips] critical thinking images?
For number 6, maybe show that clip in which an orca upsets a kayak (which then pops up with occupant OK). It appears real until one considers alternative explanations--such as video manipulation to produce a clever and convincing eye-witness account for an ad. http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/kayak.asp --Dave Gerald Peterson wrote: Tipsters: I introduce and develop exercises in my class to teach critical thinking.

Re: [tips] critical thinking images?
Restate #7 and you'll come up with a pertinent graphic. For instance, using support or prove instead of the negative allows for many different visual interpretations. Also, how are # 3 and # 8 different? Your illustration should evolve from that question.
