Transcript: said? Thinking How will we do that? Practical Thinking Words When I ask my students to do analytical thinking, I am asking them to— Break something into parts Carefully look at all the parts AND Come to some conclusion. Build background knowledge of analytical, practical, creative, and research-based thinking Examples from the classroom and Journeys Nouns -parts thinking Our discoveries... -Changing something -adding something -using something in a different way Can I break this into parts? What are they asking me to do with the parts? (they—teacher or the question) Can I make a decision? Monitor their thinking to ensure that they understand what they are learning, are attending to critical information, and are aware of the learning strategies that they are using and why. I don't know _______ so I will look for possible answers, draw conclusions, and apply what I learn. I want to know more about ______ so I will explore/study and make some conclusions. I think I know ________ but I am going to check my thinking and come to some conclusion. I believe _______ is true, now I will test it and come to some conclusion. -Background knowledge thinking -At home thinking Obtain Split into 4 groups Each group is focused on a different type of thinking Read, think, pair-share Share back with the whole group "Today we will use "look for" thinking to find and learn about short i words." What do you notice about the words with short i? They all have one vowel. TAP Rubric By the end of cluster, teachers will deepen their understanding of each thinking type from the TAP rubric. Teachers will use this understanding to regularly provide opportunities for students to monitor their own thinking and be aware of the learning strategies they are using and why. Research Thinking Cris will trip did Verbs Am I narrowing my thinking? If so, I am probably doing __________ thinking. Am I stretching my thinking? If so, I am probably doing ____________ thinking. Am I testing my thinking? If so, I am probably doing ____________ thinking. Am I applying what I already know? If so, I am probably doing ____________ thinking. Develop Does every word that has an "i" make the short i sound? Analytical Thinking Quiz When we use our practical thinking, we are applying what we learn to things at home, our life outside of school or to our lives. Adjectives 5 - Exemplary Over the course of multiple observations, the teacher consistently and thoroughly teaches all four types of thinking: Analytical Thinking Practical Thinking Creative Thinking Research-based Thinking The teacher regularly provides opportunities where students: Generate a variety of ideas and alternatives; Analyze problems from multiple perspectives and viewpoints Creative Thinking "When you look at something and think about its parts." Research-based thinking: Tests my thinking Looks for answers to my questions Makes some conclusions Where Different types of thinking Questions students should ask for Analytical thinking: "Look for" (research-based) thinking is when you look for more learning. We use this thinking when we want to know more about something. When I ask my students to do practical thinking in the future, I am asking them to— -Apply what they learn in school to their lives. -Apply what they already know from life to what we are learning in school.
