To Boost Higher-Order Thinking, Try Curation

To Boost Higher-Order Thinking, Try Curation | Common Core ELA | Scoop.it

Jennifer Gonzalez writes: "In an educational setting, curation has a ton of potential as an academic task. Sure, we’re used to assigning research projects, where students have to gather resources, pull out information, and synthesize that information into a cohesive piece of informational or argumentative writing. This kind of work is challenging and important, and it should remain as a core assignment throughout school, but how often do we make the collection of resources itself a stand-alone assignment?"

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:

Jennifer shares great ideas for using curation--with student writing! Instead of an annotated bibliography, have students use elink to create a more visually appealing curated list of resources.

News Literacy: Critical-Thinking Skills for the 21st Century

News Literacy: Critical-Thinking Skills for the 21st Century | Common Core ELA | Scoop.it

"News literacy education has the potential to engage students and ignite their critical thinking. More importantly, it can empower them to make better-informed choices in their lives as they move beyond the classroom and into the world."

Mary Reilley Clark's insight:

Easy to implement examples that support Common Core (and don't require any of those dreary "Commn Core-aligned" materials that too many school districts are buying!)

Mary Reilley Clark's curator insight, February 4, 2014 6:18 PM

Easy to implement examples that support critical thinking and media literacy, both essential in the Common Core (and life!)
