Critical thinking

• Critical thinking is about discovering and applying           meaning to what you see, hear,and read.•    

  

"If a man's actions are not guided by thoughtful 

conclusions, then they are guided by inconsiderate 

impulse, unbalanced appetite, caprice, or the 

circumstances of the moment. To cultivate unhindered, 

unreflective external activity is to foster 

enslavement for it leaves the person at the mercy of 

appetite, sense, and circumstance
John Dewey

GRETEL AND HANSEL

 I  chose GRETEL and HANSEL because is a nice story for children as it is the perfect story. Two brothers ... lost in the forest ... found a house of chocolate and sweets and ... ohhhhhhh! What kid or adult would not love to get lost in a forest and find a wonderful dream house all full of candy?The story of a bond between a Brother and a Sister, of how they survived a very hard situation. It started when their Step mom told their Father who is a woodcutter, to bring the two kids at the forest and just leave them there. They are so poor that they cannot afford to feed them anymore. While in the forest, the two stumbled upon a house made of candies and chocolates. Because they were both hungry, they went inside to eat, not knowing that the woman who lives there was a witch who eats little children. The witch put Hansel in a cage and let Gretel do the house choirs. She also told Gretel to never forget to feed her Brother. But when Gretel Found out that if her Brother becomes fat, the witch will cook and eat him. She told Hansel about this and they came up with a plan. When the time came that Hansel will be cooked, Gretel told the witch that there’s something wrong with the oven. So the witch went inside the oven to take a look, Gretel took the opportunity and shoved her more inside and closed the oven. She freed Hansel and they ran away from the witches’ house. Just in time, for their Father is looking all over the forest for them. He realized that he can’t live without his two kids, so the three went home and lived peacefully with each other. This story shows how tight the bond of a family is, thru thick and thin, a family is always there to help and give support. Even if it means risking their own life just to save their love ones.

My opinion about LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN is when, through books, children can also learn about people and places from other parts of the world, improving their understanding of and concern for all of humanity. 

Through stories and novels children can vicariously try out new experiences and test new ideas, with no negative consequences in their real lives.



MULTICURALISM

These videos showed that the   Students are interested in learning more about other people and other cultures. The result of greater emphasis in multicultural education could be greater tolerance among students, fewer negative attitudes, and fewer prejudices with the result being better social relations between students from different cultural backgrounds.

RIDDLES

I come one in a  minute,

Twice I a moment ,

But never in a thousand year.  

At night they come without being fetched. 

By day they are lost without being stolen. 

What are they? 

I always run, but never walk.

I have a bed, but I don´t sleep.

I have a mouth, but I   don’t  eat 

You hear my sound ,

you feel me when I move

But see me you never will.

this a very nice story
