Hi,

I pulled an excerpt from your blog in my post to parents. I included a link to your site for them to check out the full article. Thanks again for the great information. The timing was perfect because I was telling them we had started our math curse project. Here is the link: http://4thgradetreasurehunters.blogspot.com/2012/10/building-critical-thinking-skills.html

Tina- thanks for your thoughtful response. I’d love to hear how it works out in your classroom! It sounds like you played a game very similar without even realizing it. 🙂

I plan to share this information with my parents. I never thought about a game like this helping students develop critical thinking skills. When my husband and I lived in Florida, we loved to go to the food court at the mall and people watch. Orlando is a melting pot of many cultures and tourists from all over the world, so we would often try and figure out where the people were from based on their physical traits and clues. In the classroom, I think this would work well by showing students interesting pictures and then having them write the story of what is going on. I have seen a lot of photo prompts on Pinterest lately.
