16Easy PowerPoint Lessons
17Higher Order Thinking in PowerPoint ProjectsElementary classes
integrating critical thinking skills with multimedia
presentations
Presented by Marilyn Mutchler and Mikie Kindsfather, Irving
ISD
What is Critical Thinking?When students are asked to address a
purpose and come up with a solution, they truly begin to identify,
analyze, and solve problems through critical thinking. (Schneider,
2002)Higher-Order ThinkingBlooms TaxonomyThe New Blooms
How can Elementary Teachers Encourage Critical Thinking?Provide
problems that do not have obvious solutionsFrequent
brainstormingCompare and contrast every chance you getCategorize
everythingStudent-centered instructionIntegrate problem solving in
all curriculum areas
(Schneider, 2002)
PowerPoint Lessons that Integrate Critical ThinkingMeasurement
and Reasonableness Exploring measurement in math and science. Class
discussion about ways to estimate inches, feet and yards. Students
estimated and measured a bus, a teacher and classroom objects. This
lead to the idea of sharing the results. Each pair of students
chose an object to include in a PowerPoint presentation and then
wrote a question encouraging others to select the correct unit for
measuring the object.Students inserted and formatted the pictures
onto their slides. Each pair recorded the question and answer using
the PowerPoint recording feature. Two class periods in the computer
lab and then students completed their work on the classroom
computers. PowerPoint Lessons that Integrate Critical
ThinkingSelf-Portrait ComparisonsStudents created a self-portrait
using a paint program on the computer. The students then had to
choose a famous person they wanted to compare themselves to (how
they're alike and different) and record their comparisons with
their portrait. The recordings and self-portraits were then
inserted into a PowerPoint presentation for a complete class photo
album. PowerPoint Lessons that Integrate Critical ThinkingBuild a
Bug To assess a unit on insects, students created and named their
own bug. The requirements were to include all the major
characteristics of insects. Students had tell what the animal ate
and explain the appropriate mouth adaptation for the chosen diet.
The students drew their insect in Paint and then inserted the image
into a PowerPoint presentation.More Ideas for Integrating Higher
Order ThinkingAnalysis:Compare/contrast the settings of two
stories
Synthesis:Modify a story by changing the setting (How would that
affect the characters? The plot? The outcome of the story?)
Evaluation:Rate the effectiveness of an author at achieving the
purpose of a story. (Identify the purpose, evaluate the
effectiveness, and provide evidence from the story for your
opinion)

CaldwellApril 18, 2013Polar-Arctic Regions
More Information on Habitat
Polar Bears, Wolverines, Birds, Walrus, & SealsThere is a
low number of species that can survive here because of the harsh
coldnessIn order to survive, animals need insulating feathers or
fur, short legs, and are usually a larger size. All of these
adaptations help the animal stay warm.Animal AdaptationsPolar Jack
Fox
The Polar Jackfox is able to survive in the Arctic because of 3
important characteristicsThis species has a bushy tail that keeps
it warmIts coat turns white in the winter to help camouflage it
from predators because it matches the ice/snow.It has Polar Bear
feet, which means its back paws go into the tracks of the front
paws, letting it conserve energy as it travels through deep
snow.Evidencehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctichttp://www.geographicguide.com/arctic.htmhttp://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/earth/arctic.htmlhttp://www.nps.gov/akso/parkwise/students/referencelibrary/bela/arcticadaptations.htmhttp://switchzoo.com/zoo.htm
