This book offers upper elementary and middle school educators a variety of tools, activities, and sample literary texts for teaching critical thinking and analysis. Teaching students to think critically about what they’re reading and to use evidence in their written responses can be a challenge, but this book makes it easy by presenting twelve critical thinking tools along with step-by-step instructions on how to implement each one. It also includes graphic organizers and question- and response-starters for scaffolding. With this book, any teacher can guide students to become more inquisitive and creative as readers, writers, and thinkers.
