The Three Story Intellect There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors, who have no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare, reason, generalize, using the labors of the fact collectors as well as their own. Three story men idealize, imagine, predict……their best illumination comes from above, through the skylight. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
Skinny vs. Fat   High Consensus vs. Low Consensus   Review vs. True

We need to move towards a  knowledge  generating  society.  The ability to  think critically & creatively  and to  reason logically   constitute the template for building a society that will be able to not just adopt or adapt borrowed knowledge but that which will be able to  create & market  its own  knowledge.

Editor's Notes

  1. Questioning is quite possibly the most difficult to cultivate, so we will spend some time on this…..
  2. Activity!!! You have Pull out your lesson plan. Under Assessment Methods – add the sub header “Formative” Under this heading formulate 2 high quality questions that will enable thinking for this unit. Be prepared to share your question!
  3. It has to be a safe environment! Get those desks out of ROWS if they still are – but… Lay down the rules/expectations for small group, large group interactions (classroom management) Keep a timer handy!! Get your materials ready for THINKING
  4. One that makes thinking possible and students willing to engage – safe/appreciation for ideas and divergence Be as explicit as possible when initially teaching thinking skills – MAKE METACOGNITION a step by step process. As you scaffold up to higher skills Teach for transfer – make sure that the process you are teaching is on that can be used in all classrooms. THNKING MAP VIDEO
  5. Activity!! In your groups, 10 minutes and discuss tools that you have used to encourage more critical thinking skills.
