Raising Critical Thinkers
A guide for parents to help children of all ages process the onslaught of unfiltered information in the digital age. Education is not solely about acquiring information and skills across subject areas, but also about understanding how and why we believe what we do. At a time when online media has created a virtual firehose of information and opinions, parents and teachers worry how students will interpret what they read and see. Amid the noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment. But how do parents teach these skills to their children? Drawing on more than twenty years’ experience homeschooling and developing curricula, Julie Bogart offers practical tools to help children at every stage of development to grow in their ability to explore the world around them, examine how their loyalties and biases affect their beliefs, and generate fresh insight rather than simply recycling what they’ve been taught. Full of accessible stories and activities for children of all ages, Raising Critical Thinkers helps parents to nurture passionate learners with thoughtful minds and empathetic hearts.

Summary of Julie Bogart's Raising Critical Thinkers

It is a process of strategic reasoning, insightfulness, perseverance, creativity, and craftsmanship. It allows us to interpret and act. #2 Educators want children to be critical thinkers. They want them to be able to identify their perceptions, what causes them to trust one source of information and distrust another, and why they accept some ideas as true while they reject others as false. #3 The unreliable narrator is the first literary device that Noah encounters. The wolf’s woe-is-me story is a dead giveaway that the wolf is not using his own critical thinking faculties. Instead, he uses a self-serving defense to disguise his misdeeds. #4 We all have a tendency to trust our own opinions and sources of information, but how do we know which ones to trust. Which perspectives of historical events are accurate. We constantly ask these questions when we read, listen to, or contemplate any input.

The Viewpoints Book
The Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation that grew out of the postmodern dance world. It was first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie, who broke down the two dominant issues performers deal with—space and time—into six categories. Since that time, directors Anne Bogart and Tina Landau have expanded her notions and adapted them for actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively and to generate bold, theatrical work. The Viewpoints are a set of names given to certain principles of movement through time and space—they constitute a language for talking about what happens on stage. Coupling this with Composition, which is the practice of selecting and arranging the s...
