My Project

My students are highly engaged in critical thinking skills through reading, writing and oral presentations. So far, they have done a wonderful job and I have seen how they have improved because of the weekly assessments that they have been given in class.

I would like to keep up the pace of the students' critical thinking skills by expressing their knowledge through the form of art expressions, origami squares, and oil pastels.

I know that my students will enjoy either working independently or with a class peer in completing this interesting project. The students will be expected to present their critical thinking artwork to the class as part of their grades.
