Critical Thinking Resources
(Created by Lees Summit R-7 School District PLC)
Crack My Venn
This strategy uses a 2 or 3 circle Venn diagram to compare and contrast content related material. Students will complete the Venn diagram, but do NOT include the labels of the items being compared. Then students trade Venn diagrams and work to determine the concepts, ideas, or vocabulary being compared. Once a student has "cracked the Venn" they can trade with another student and repeat the process. This can be done verbally or with dry erase markers if the Venn diagram is placed in a plastic page protector.

Bracketology
Bracketology is a critical thinking twist to a sports bracket tournament where the team who wins moves to the next level until only one team remains. In the classroom, students can be challenged to consider key concepts, characteristics, or people that are most important or influential. For this strategy, there is no "right" answer per se, but a focus on the dialogue and justification that is taking place between group members. Students could go through this process individually and/or with a small group. Then share the first "round" of choices and the "final" decision as a whole group.
CLICK HERE for a premade Bracketology template. Before trying to type into the template, please make a copy first. Then type into your copy of the bracket.
