Debbie Alvarez on 16 Jul 11Critical Thinking Consortium: created this link to lessons/resources on "thoughtful books", some books are actually available online for printing and reference. "The Thoughtful Books series makes use of exemplary children's literature to help young readers learn to read critically and to thoughtfully consider ethical matters. Each resource in this series features specific tools supporting literacy development and encouraging the deliberataion of ethical considerations. Teachers and parents are encouraged to use the suggested activities to introduce the tools and then to encourage their young children to apply them in a variety of situations overtime, until the tools are used independently, selectively, and naturally."
