Critical thinking is the active process of gathering and analyzing information in order to form an opinion or judgement. It is not limited to a certain subject area or grade level, but rather the general ability to think in a clear and rational way.
Critical thinking skills are important for students to develop. Have them create an example of using critical thinking!

Sally got me the answers to tomorrow's test! Do you want them?
Oh no, what should I do? I need to think rationally about this.
Okay, good luck!
Thanks, but I think I'll pass. I wanna see how I do on my own.
One time my friend found the answers to a math test that we were having the next day, and asked it I wanted a copy. I was so nervous about the test.
I knew that having the answers to the test would be so helpful. But cheating is wrong, and if I ever got caught, I would be in big trouble...
After thinking about all the options and possible outcomes, I decided that I did not want the answers. I didn't do so well on the test, but at least I was honest.
