The Memorable Link: Designing Critical Thinking Activities That Stimulate Synthesis and Evaluation Among Verbally Gifted Adolescents

Felicia A. Dixon

There is a need for activities that foster critical thinking on a regular basis within secondary literature-based courses. The rationale for teaching thinking skills is presented, and activities that focus on synthesis and evaluation are presented and discussed. The call for curricula that both model and encourage the thinking skills that students possess is a challenge for all educators who teach verbally gifted students. The call to action is for teachers to become critical thinkers in their determination of content, process, and product choices for high-ability verbal students.
