Abstract

An educator reflects on her own teaching practice to find that many of her lessons do not require higher-order thinking skills. Documents the author's process in improving upon existing curriculum to develop a unit on the topic of insects for a public classroom setting that activates students' critical thinking skills. The author develops three questions: What critical thinking skills are addressed in this lesson plan? Is this lesson learner-centered or teacher-centered? How can this lesson be improved to further incorporate critical thinking skills? as a method to reflect upon and revise lesson plans to incorporate critical thinking skills.
