Imagine a classroom library showcasing books by Gail Gibbons and Eric Carle, selections from the Curious George series, nonfiction trade books about animals, and science magazines. Although the books appear to be disconnected, they are part of a unit of study called Fact or Fiction in which students investigate how authors use factual information about animals in fictional stories. By carefully selecting these texts within the context of a meaningful unit of study, the teacher has taken the first step in helping students be successful with complex informational text.

" * A differing opinion, by itself, is no evidence of asshattery. That is basically what the principle of reciprocity says. * But, a violation of the principle of reciprocity is evidence of asshattery. * Therefore, when I call someone an asshat for violating the principle of reciprocity, I am not violating the principle of reciprocity myself, since my opinion is evidence-based. It's reassuring to know I can be a good critical thinker and still be allowed to call someone an asshat on occasion."

"As I talk with leaders in the education and librarian communities, I am, particularly bothered by reports of students who just paste information from Wikipedia or Google into their term papers and call it a day. No matter what search brand you are using, these reports mean that a generation of youngsters are growing up accepting that just the first few examples of information they see on their screens are sufficient, and a generation of teachers are spending time struggling to convince them they need good Internet research skills.

"Craig Nelson spent a day guiding the faculty through reflective critical thinking activities, making the point that education is changing radically with universities such as MIT making online courses public and with paper-grading services provided in countries such as Bangladesh. After discussing William Perry's stages of intellectual and ethical development in the context of critical thinking, he concluded with this reminder: "If we are only teaching for content, then we can be replaced by computers and graders in Bangladesh. If, however, we are teaching to transform our students, then teachers are indispensible.""
