Designing Critical Challenges - Usha James
Critical Challenges may take one of the following six forms:
Critique the piece, Judge the better or the best, Rework the piece, Decode the puzzle, Design the specs, and Perform to specs
If students or teachers are to be successful at questions/tasks that invite thinking, they need these Intellectual Tools:
Background Knowledge (content, specific expectations)
Criteria for Judgement (factors that they should consider when making a decision
Thinking Strategy (graphic organizer or series of steps to help students sort through content and apply criteria
Habits of Mind (personal characteristics students will need to be successful)
