Re: Critical thinking

[siofrabunnies]

By critical thinking, I'm meaning 1) problem solving, 2) connecting facts in some logical way, and 3) applying 1 & 2.

Maybe book reviews? Searching for symbolism, or relating things to historical context or the author's life. Ex: JK Rowling based dementors on her own experiences with depression. Give specific examples of how she turned emotional/mental problems into this creature. If you created dementors, how would they be different? Thing like that.

I find skills a lot easier to learn if I relate them to something I enjoy.

Or, maybe try finding a small problem and thing of a solution. Then, think of three consequences, then a consequence for each of those. Then, repeat with a different solution. I.e.:

Problem: I need to get my Grandma a present.
Solution 1: Something small and inexpensive. A keychain with her birthstone!
- C 1: She'll appreciate that she can take it with her.
-- C sub1: She'll think of me whenever she grabs her keys.
- C 2: She'll think I'm cheap, and didn't prepare.
-- C sub2: She might be disappointed.
- C 3: It will match the earrings my sister got her.
-- C sub3: She'll think we're both thoughtful and it'll be the best birthday ever!

tl;dr? I guess, try to think of English (or grammar and lit. from wherever you're from) assignments. That's where it's usually taught in school.

I second this

also: read

by goodness READ A LOT

read things from many different authors from very different backgrounds

newspaper opinion pieces, books, blog posts, forums, whatever, analyses of your favorite media, whatever

get a taste for how other people think and your brain will start picking up pieces from here and there until your own critical thinking starts forming itself and refining with experience

and become a good listener. listen to what people think about this or that topic, and compare their points of view with one another

also, consider the source of each opinion: is a certain opinion coming from a bitter person? an inexperience person? a rich person? a poor person? someone who has faced discrimination? someone who has received everything they wanted in life? someone happy? someone angry?
