The Critical Thinking Triangle® in Action! + Making Connections!

The Critical Thinking Triangle® In Action! Thought Process Manipulative has been created because the Critical Thinking Triangle® is the crux of the Story Grammar Marker®, our tool for narrative development, story-telling, personal narratives, comprehension, writing and social communication. This Manipulative is a enhancement to Story Grammar Marker® and contains 5 elements that connect and interact among each other to enable students to think about their thinking: to infer, solve problems, resolve conflicts, take perspective and more! Thinking deserves its own hands-on tool. This new tool makes it possible for children to actually manipulate, talk about and comprehend the elements of the Critical Thinking Triangle® Kick-Off or problem, unexpected happening resulting in a change to the setting Emotions or Feelings Mental States/Thinking verbs/thought process Plans/Intentions to determine actions Cohesive Ties (conjunctions) to build complex sentence structures to communicate the story
