Question: Imagine? that, as a? seventh-grade teacher, you want to enhance your? students' critical thinking abilities.? Accordingly, you conduct three classroom? activities described in the following items. In a? follow-up activity, you and your students decide to conduct an experiment to determine the actual effects of the bracelet. All of your students individually identify three or more important goals they hope to achieve in the next 7 days.? One-half of the students-selected randomly-agree that they will wear a bracelet for the subsequent? week; the other half agree that they will not wear a bracelet for the week. Students will keep journals in which they document whether and when they achieve each of the goals? they've identified. Seven days? later, students report their individual? results, and, as a? class, you analyze and compare the results for the? bracelet-wearers and? non-bracelet-wearers. If you find that? bracelet-wearers have more often achieved their goals than ?non-bracelet-wearers-or vice versa-you also discuss possible explanations for the difference.? (For instance, was a placebo effect at? work? Were there weaknesses in the? record-keeping method?) What form of critical thinking are you trying to encourage with this? activity?] Which one will be followed up with reasoning? Verbal reasoning Argument analysis
