I received this comment today. Perhaps the most controversial part of my teaching philosophy is that we should not underestimate what young people are capable of understanding, as long as the topics are taught in an age-appropriate way.
For just $5, you can get a printable version of Critikid's puzzle cards. To save you ink, they are in black and white, but I recommend printing them on coloured paper!

A lot of critical thinking topics, like logical fallacies, formal logic, and data analysis, are pretty abstract, which is why they are usually not taught until university (if at all). But we can use stories and real-world examples to make these topics concrete and accessible to younger people.
Critikid's Printable Logical Fallacy Handbook gives an overview of twenty logical fallacies with real-world examples. critikid.com/worksheets/p...
Quick question for teachers: I'm making media literacy lessons, and wondering what format is most convenient for presentations.
I was thinking of including both PDF slides + a link to an editable Canva presentation.
Is there some other format that is preferable?
