WORLD HISTORY - HONORS
Assignment Sheet
Mr. Nall
During first quarter you were introduced to the art of journal writing. You were merely asked to respond to World History classwork. Beginning with second quarter we will place even greater emphasis on developing your critical thinking skills. Each journal will provide you with an opportunity to practice these skills. First, a definition; to criticize means “to make careful judgments” and this is what will be expected of you as you journal during second quarter. To help you, I have included the following definitions of critical thinking terms;
Analyze - to separate into parts; to sort out
Interpret - to clarify the meaning of
Relate – to connect
Argue – to put forth reasons for and/or against; to debate
Synthesize – to combine so as to form a new product or idea
Validate – prove; verify
Infer – to conclude from evidence
Imply – to express indirectly; to hint; to suggest
Beginning with today’s journal you will be assigned a specific critical thinking skill for each upcoming day. You must use World History classwork as you practice your specific critical thinking skill.
