The authors show how a seminar approach can lead students deeper into a text and improve their speaking, listening, and writing skills, as recommended by the Common Core State Standards. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRoberts and Billings provide easy-to-follow information on implementing Paideia Seminars, in which students discuss a text and ask open-ended questions about it. When teachers use this lesson format, students are exposed to a wide range of increasingly complex texts. They also learn how to collaborate, talk about, and reflect on what they're reading, to make meaning independently and together. Seminars can be done in English class and across the curriculum, using social studies documents or math problems as the texts under discussion. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeaching Critical Thinking \u003c\/i\u003ealso offers an array of practical resources: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eteacher lesson plans \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003estudent samples \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea list of possible ideas and values for discussion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea guide to asking good questions during a seminar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esix full seminar plans (including the texts), covering literature, social studies, and science topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Billings, Terry Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596672080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596672086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Laura Billings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938551398655,"sku":"9781596672086","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f0868173-4657-4d25-aa80-20136ea2c9ed.jpg?v=1681436357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-critical-thinking-laura-billings-9781596672086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
