ok this is not a lesson that worked, but it is something I am getting more interested in doing. I've noticed my students are really bad at making deductions, analyzing the data they are given. We've talked alot about being critical readers, but I've become interested in students as critical consumers. We are bombarded by media and our students need to be able to dissect it.

I'm heard this either in class or another seminar. I liked the idea. It was to have students analyse advertizements (print, radio, television, internet). The students will have to identify what claims are made, if these claims can be substantiated, who is the target audience, etc. In the end, i think it doesnt make much difference what we teach kids to be critical towards. I bet there's alot of carry over.

I'll somehow have to tie this to math.
