Lost at Sea is a classic activity that can be found all across the Internet. We’ve adapted it in our CRITICAL THINKING lesson plansto help teachers introduce the idea of criterion based decision making
In this Educircles version, we suggest three strategies to help students think more critically: 1. Use criteria 2. Be open-minded 3. Be full minded (have lots of high quality information to help make an informed decision)
We provide a high-interest, visually appealing slideshow to introduce and explain the activity, objects, and answers to students.We explain with images and words what each of the 15 items are.We provide student worksheet that allows students to record their ranking based on their individual thinking, group thinking and based on criteria.Use criteria
1. After students have had an opportunity to rank the 15 items based on their individual ideas, and group ideas, students are then given the criteria that the experts used. 2. Criteria are a set of rules that we can use to help us make decisions. 3. In this case, the criteria (according to the US Coast Guard) are to select objects that 1) attract attention to ourselves, and 2)help us to stay alive until we are rescued.
Be open-minded
1. in any group scenario, team members can disagree because they’re coming from different perspectives. 2. In critical thinking, it’s important to be able to stay open-minded and accept that other people’s points of view might be equally valid and deserve careful consideration. 3. In fact in this scenario, some objects can be used in different ways – and depending on how they are used, they might be rank higher or lower. 4. It’s up to the students to try to remain open-minded and consider opp...
Be full minded
1. One of the challenges of this activity is that students don’t always know what all the items are, or why they might be significant. 2. In our slideshow, we explain what each item is and we provide a little bit of background information to help students make an informed decision about how to use the item.
Note: the slides from this Taste of Critical Thinking come from our larger “” lesson package, specifically the following slides: 1-35, 36-80, 97-101
