Critical Thinking

Grade 8 Projects & Achievements

Project Details

In the Fake News project, I used critical thinking in the group research process through finding sources for credibility and finding out how misinformation is spread through techniques such as false context and bias. In my History Reflection on the evolution of cooking, I used the CRAAP test to assess archaeological and cultural sources and synthesized their insights into a balanced narrative.
