Imagine that a 10-year-old has found out that you are taking a critical thinking class

Now that you have read material on the history and definition of critical thinking you you should have a much clearer understanding of the skill of critical thinking. One way to really make sure someone understands a concept is to have them explain it to a child. Here you have to put a concept into simple words that even a very young person could understand.

Imagine that a 10-year-old has found out that you are taking a critical thinking class. This child asks you, “What is critical thinking?” You now need to explain it.

I would like to see two things in the initial post of this week’s discussion.

An explanation of critical thinking in words a 10-year-old could understand.

An example they could relate to. This example might be about making a choice between two things they would want or would like to do.
