For this journal assignment, briefly answer each of the following
prompts:
• Critical Thinking
◦ After reading the required resources for this week and
participating in the discussion, how do you define
critical thinking? You will want to carry this definition
with you, so keep it brief – perhaps 4 to 6 lines. You will
find many definitions online – don’t be tempted to just
quickly copy one; try to form your own so that it is
meaningful to you.
• Heart of the Matter
◦ Considering just what you read in Chapter 2.3 “Looking
Ahead” why do you think the authors see Chapters 12,
13, and 14 as the “heart of the matter”?
◦ What do you think they mean by that?
◦ What two concepts do the authors say these chapters
emphasize?
◦ How do you define these concepts?
◦ Why do you think the authors find these concepts
important to critical thinking?
• Challenges & Insights
◦ What do you see as your greatest challenge for this
session in general? For this class in particular?
◦ How do you think you can use the concepts in these
first three chapters to help you meet these challenges
as well as challenges in your personal life as a member
of your family and your community?
If you include references to outside sources (beyond the
textbook), make sure you cite them properly.
