Throughout the Fabric of the Course
Critical Thinking is the conscious processing of information at different levels of complexity.
• Students must be given explicit instruction and guided practice in critical thinking from the beginning to the end of the semester.
• There are many models on which to base instruction:

Metacognition
• The key to unlocking critical thinking is self-awareness.
• Students need to be shown how to listen to their own thoughts and purposefully focus them at different levels of complexity.
• Students must also be shown ways to record their thoughts and use them to construct appropriate responses to academic tasks.

Reading: A Complex Process
Students need to understand that there is a sequence of steps that they should follow to maximize comprehension of academic texts.
Annotation and note-taking are carried out concurrently with each step.
• Pre-read
• Skim
• Reread (Deep Read)
![Page 13: Summer Literacy Institute 2014 - SanJac Blogssjcblogs.sanjac.edu/literacy-cafe/files/2014/07/Critical... · 2014-08-01 · Metacognition •The key to unlocking critical thinking](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050305/5f6dd0b0240ec117f041527f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reading Comprehension
Deep reading requires students to analyze a text with the objective of recognizing and articulating implicit aspects of that text: • author’s assertions, assumptions, biases, and
position
• generally held assumptions relating to a subject
• students’ own assumptions
![Page 14: Summer Literacy Institute 2014 - SanJac Blogssjcblogs.sanjac.edu/literacy-cafe/files/2014/07/Critical... · 2014-08-01 · Metacognition •The key to unlocking critical thinking](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050305/5f6dd0b0240ec117f041527f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Annotation – “Not Just For Decoration”
• Students explore and identify important parts of text.
• Students insert their own comments and questions in and around text.
![Page 15: Summer Literacy Institute 2014 - SanJac Blogssjcblogs.sanjac.edu/literacy-cafe/files/2014/07/Critical... · 2014-08-01 · Metacognition •The key to unlocking critical thinking](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050305/5f6dd0b0240ec117f041527f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Annotation is a worthwhile
investment of a student’s time.
investment = something on which you spend (time or money) in order to receive some benefit in return
I‘m going to try this on my next reading assignment.

• Short video clips are a good resource for eliciting critical thinking in preparation for reading.
• Encourage discussion and elaboration of responses.
