Daily 20-minute practice lessons help students apply critical thinking skills across subject areas. The lessons develop students' higher-order thinking skills and allow them to integrate their learning and make deeper connections between their learning and the real world.
Use Daily Higher-Order Thinking for warm-up exercises, extension activities, early finisher tasks, and small-group center activities to develop your students' critical and creative thinking skills.
How it works:
- Monday - Friday: Full-page daily activities focus on a specific behavioral verb each day. The verb is defined at the top of the page so students become aware of when and how they are using the thinking skill.
- Each full-page activity gives students an opportunity to practice a higher-order thinking skill in the context of a different curriculum area.
- Questions and tasks are open-ended and can be used to promote peer-to-peer discussions as students share and discuss answers, while also fostering critical thinking skills.
- An answer key provides sample responses for each day's activities. Evaluate students' responses based on your own expectations and on what content your students have encountered.
Grade 6 activities include: logic puzzles, creative writing, picture comparisons, and "what if" questions. Daily lessons practice higher-order thinking skills such as:
- Analyzing
- Predicting
- Designing
- Composing
- Organizing
- Evaluating
- Imagining
- Strategizing
