  • MrSeipel Nov 19 @ 7:07 PM EST
    A1: Critical thinking in my classroom involves students bouncing ideas off of each other in a whole class discussion building off of one another’s response. This lets them think more deeply about content. #osussmce #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Nov 19 @ 7:07 PM EST
    A1 Critical thinking often looks messy, it frequently sounds loud/confused/conflicting, and it feels difficult.... but so worthwhile (he tells himself in November, knowing that it gradually gets easier and smoother by springtime) #sschat
  • JMDeitering Nov 19 @ 7:07 PM EST

  • sdraperosu Nov 19 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1: In my classroom, critical thinking looks like students collaborating and discussing different ways to answer real world problems. #osussmce #sschat
  • AustinJ99660997 Nov 19 @ 7:09 PM EST

  • AustinJ99660997 Nov 19 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1 My students still require additional support in developing critical thinking skills. Occasionally they will give up and just wait for the answer when they do not know it right away. #osussmce #sschat
  • historytechie Nov 19 @ 7:14 PM EST
    Q2 What literacy skills are needed for inquiry in social studies classes? #sschat
  • Bethany_Petty Nov 19 @ 7:14 PM EST

    A2: Being able to interpret and analyze primary and secondary sources is essential to have inquiry in a social studies classroom #sschat #ssvpln
  • historytechie Nov 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A2 Ss need to read/decode sources, understand context and meaning, identify main idea/claim and evidence, visual literacy, media literacy with sources. #sschat
  • historytechie Nov 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A2 Ss need to be able to write and communicate claims, evidence, address counterclaims, speak and listen, and create. #sschat
  • JMDeitering Nov 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A2: lots of different literacies! Decoding, context clues, and of course media literacy! #osussmce #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Nov 19 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1b: Critical thinking is not just imaginative or even creative thinking. It still must be grounded in EVIDENCE and logical reasoning. #sschat
  • kwillmann Nov 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2 - Students must learn and practice interpreting all kinds of sources - What is the author/artist trying to tell me or sell me? They they have to practice using those same skills to send their own messages #sschat
  • AustinJ99660997 Nov 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2 I think visual literacy skills are a must. Being able to critically analyze an image is a great way students can work with inquiry. #osussmce #sschat
  • Miss_Kumler Nov 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2) Some important literacy skills needed for inquiry are the ability to ask thoughtful questions, respectfully disagree with others, and explain new ideas. #sschat #osussmce

    A2 #sschat SS is literacy, literacy is SS - like PB and J. Love Probst and Beers sognposts for nonfiction to help in this area - and that my #promance @DrLWalczak is a stud literacy T
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Nov 19 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2) Ss need to be able to decode text but also grapple with subtext (as @BruceLesh describes it) - purpose, point of view, context, etc. And this is the case whether they are exploring maps, political cartoons, photographs, etc. #sschat
  • JasonSalhaney Nov 19 @ 7:17 PM EST

  • MrBaileyOSU Nov 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A2: I think media literacy skills are extremely important for inquiry. Students need to be able to recognize the good from the bad and realize how bias effects the sources they examine #osussmce #sschat
  • Bethany_Petty Nov 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A2: recognizing bias in sources is extremely important. As we dive into primary sources, we identify who created the source and a bit of background about them as people (as much as possible!) Reading and re-reading sources actively is also a vital skill #sschat
  • StephenKellett7 Nov 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A2 A short but not exahustive list of literacies needed: -Media -News -Historical -Primary & Secondary source -Social/emotional -Perspective #sschat
  • StephenKellett7 Nov 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    One needs to be able to interact effectively with all of these. Ss need to know how to interact with media & critique. Same for P & S sources. They also need the less tangible literacy of looking at a thing thru a lens besides their own, a human, not academic, view #sschat
  • JasonSalhaney Nov 19 @ 7:18 PM EST
    recognizing bias is critical and such a hard concept to teach. #equality #bothsides #sschat

  • MrSeipel Nov 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    Decoding skills are very important for inquiry to work in social studies. When students are able to understand and decode the meaning of text, great questions can come about from there. #osussmce #sschat
  • Byrnes922 Nov 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2: Media literacy is critical for inquiry. It's alarming to see the statistics for the number of adults who can't discern between fact and fiction. In addition to media literacy, students need to develop literacy in learning...understand how to learn. #sschat
  • MrBravoo13 Nov 19 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2: literacy skills needed are being able to interpret and make inferences from the text. Being able to use evidence from the text to support a statement. #sschat #osussmce
  • italianojulia1 Nov 19 @ 7:19 PM EST

    A1 Critical thinking involves but is not limited to, analyzing different texts for similarities and differences, continuity and change, categorization. And usually involves writing. #sschat
  • Bethany_Petty Nov 19 @ 7:21 PM EST
    A2 (cont) it’s also incredibly important that our student learn how to listen to their peers, other and conflicting opinions, to understand rather than to shout their own opinions back. We work on this with our Structured Academic Controversies. #sschat

    A6: I sometimes use student responses to a carefully constructed target question on g-classroom as an exit ticket. #sschat

    And so products end up being debates, SACs, essays with counter arguments and other factors considered, etc. But their ideas are based on both content and their evaluations of the sources used. #sschat

    A6 @DBQProject has some useful material about the "Thrash Out" as an informal assessment and/or prewriting step for formal pieces: https://t.co/CLOh5BQAIj #sschat
  • italianojulia1 Nov 19 @ 7:54 PM EST
    A6 I recently developed a DBQ packet that has students synthesizing content using various graphic organizers throughout, restating each source's main idea in their own words, and ultimately a writing assignment arguing a perspective building on this synthesis. #sschat #osussmce

    Info graphics are so much fun to create! I love @piktochart to make them on. It’s so easy for students to learn and quick to download and submit to Google Classroom (with the free version) #sschat

    A7) Dueling documents! It’s an activity that asks students to compare two primary sources. #sschat #osussmce
  • historytechie Nov 19 @ 7:55 PM EST
    Nice. My students created poems for imperialism. I’m looking to work with my student teacher on incorporating found and/or blackout poetry next semester. #sschat

    Though my dissertation was a series of inquiry task around searching the web to answer question like "What role did women play in the American Revolution? How were three freedoms forgotten in a struggle for independence?" #sschat (https://t.co/PPtHYwrPoz)

    A7 I love public policy infographics on Ss choice of topic in Gov. #sschat https://t.co/83xwieGGXs
  • AustinJ99660997 Nov 19 @ 7:56 PM EST
    A7 Maybe not a full lesson but I like the idea of taking modern photos and coloring them black and white and have students try to figure out when the photo is from #sschat #osussmce

    A7 Used this (https://t.co/aSllOdrI13) to build a lesson analyzing varied perspectives on econ & policy. I believe it can be tweaked for a variety of gov or econ lessons #sschat

    A6: Having small/whole group discussions is a great way for students to show what they have learned. Also, in my media literacy class we have used Flipgrid which I think is a great tool that allows students to express what they have learned. #sschat #osussmce
  • AHartsellMCE Nov 19 @ 7:57 PM EST
    A6. I've tried having students start w analyzing a source & coming up with a claim, then finding evidence to support their claim on a second/third run-through. We've used many different types of mediums to show responses after collecting evidence! #osussmce #sschat
  • MrBaileyOSU Nov 19 @ 7:57 PM EST
    A6: group discussions and a product at the end are ways my class communicates their learning #osussmce #sschat

    A7 My students enjoyed and did well with their Imperialism area of focus inquiry and social media campaigns in World. *Still need to add GIF. #sschat https://t.co/Ajhkq7aMkO
  • JMDeitering Nov 19 @ 7:58 PM EST
    A7: My previous answer works here, too! Dueling Documents is by far my fave. I created a lesson where students analyzed 2 political cartoons offering opposing POVs, then discussed, then whole class did Take a Stand to explain their thinking #sschat
  • hunscheryoung Nov 19 @ 7:58 PM EST
    A7) I just used the @SHEG_Stanford lesson on King Philip/Metacom's war (https://t.co/a02Y21ymgY) which was the starting point for our unit on rebellion and revolution. And I am using their lesson on Confucianism and Daoism tomorrow, too (different course) #sschat
