In order to have a critical thinking question you need to have the following elements
Ex: Did Romeo and Juliet experience true love?
1. There is no correct answer. You cannot say that “No, Romeo and
Juliet did not experience true love,” and be wrong. The idea is that
you pick a side based on criteria that was set as to what “true love”
really is.
2. Each question needs an element that will require a set of
criteria to be established first before you can answer it. What is true
love? What does it mean to be influential? What constitutes a
devastating impact? What goes into an economic decision?
3. The final answer must be JUSTIFIED according to the criteria that
was set out to come to an appropriate conclusion. You can’t just say,
“Yes Romeo and Juliet were truly in love,” and leave it at that. You
have to explain WHY you think that based on the criteria.
Its basically your own opinion. have fun, explore, make your best educated guess on how they moved from sea to land! :)
