A mistake many beginning writers make is to use only one source to support their ideas (or, worse, no sources, making unsubstantiated statements). irene_morales https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/671495128 2020-08-06 16:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/671495128 My students do critical writing in their Science/Social Studies notebooks, Math notebooks and Writing packets. carmenbessire https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421812 2020-08-07 14:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421812 Critical writing is important because it helps students use prior and new knowledge to think about a topic and how if may affect them or maybe affect something you are discussing in the classroom. https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421822 2020-08-07 14:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421822 I use critical writing in the classroom usually with prompts that are interesting to the kids and with prior discussion either whole or small group, also using some sentence stems daniahunter https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421874 2020-08-07 14:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421874 Critical writing creates an opportunity for students to expand on their thinking and deepen their knowledge on a topic. dianeluna https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421883 2020-08-07 14:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421883 elissa_steer https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421978 Critical thinking is involves analyzing and increasing one's depth of knowledge. Students can write critically when during quick writes, and after science experiments.

It goes deeper than just "textbook" answers. It's about applying their knowledge in creative and expressive ways. estherlee2 https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421986 2020-08-07 14:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672421986 Nicole nicoleschwegmann https://padlet.com/irene_morales/mwyju5mfcaume4pv/wish/672422027 I see kids doing critical writing in lots of classrooms I go in. Teachers have kids write about what they have learned in journals. I have seen some of them do it as discussions first and then have them write independently
