Welcome Back! A Fresh Start with Critical Thinking



Hello everyone, and welcome back after the summer break!

First, a quick apology for not sharing new content sooner- ah, September, the month when everything feels like a whirlwind of new beginnings, schedules, and plans. But here we are, ready to dive back into learning with something special to kick off the school year.

This time, I’m excited to share a comprehensive worksheet focused on strengthening critical thinking by exploring logical fallacies and cognitive biases. These are common traps in reasoning that can cloud judgment- and they’re everywhere! From media messages to everyday conversations and even our own thinking patterns.

What’s Inside?

  • A warm-up activity inviting reflection on everyday thinking habits

  • Clear definitions and examples of 20 common fallacies and biases

  • A reflective exercise connecting these concepts to real life

  • An engaging identification task to practice spotting errors in reasoning

  • A lively, interactive role-play debate activity designed for IB DP English B students

Whether you are a teacher searching for ready-to-use materials, or a learner eager to boost your critical thinking, this resource will make thinking more mindful and discussions more effective.

Ready to Get Started?

September might be busy, but it’s the perfect time for fresh starts—and what better way than by training our minds to think clearer and speak smarter?

I would love to hear how you use this worksheet in your classroom or personal study, so please feel free to leave feedback or suggestions for future topics in the comments.

Here’s to an inspiring and thoughtful school year ahead!

SPEECH STATIONS

I have been looking for a way to spice up a bit the class I give in DP1 as introduction to speeches- both oral and written (paper 1). Then it dawned on me- why not get the students move and learn about the structure, language, rhetorical appeals rotating the stations in pairs?  I tried and it worked very well- have a look at   the stations  and the sample answers:) . The class is designed for 5 stations, but there is also an optional one on extra linguistic features- I’ve put them in my google disc as pdfs, but you can also create QR codes for them so that you don’t need to print the activities.  As for the class itself, you can ask students to compete against each other in their pairs, and check their worksheets yourself, or allow them accces to the sample key to encourage self-assessment or peer-assessment.  What needs to be done at the end is a wrap-up session on the text type that speech is- one idea might be ask students to elaborate on the titles of each s...

a Canva lesson on 'cancel culture'

  I have recently watched an excellent series entitled 'Douglas is cancelled' (I can really recommend this SkyShowtime production),  and it inspired me to plan a lesson on the phenomenon of 'cancel culture'. I ended up preparing a Canva presentation with links to a New York Post article, together with vocabulary work and open questions, as well as a set of listening comprehension and discussion questions based on a CBSN video exploring the question if cancel culture has gone too far maybe. You can find the presentation  here - a cherry on top is 2 paper 1 mock questions- hope you like it!  (key and lesson ideas in the presentation notes)

Bloom’s balls!

​ You might think in a secondary classroom there is no room for such ‚primary school crafts’, which require the actual, not digital (!) cutting and pasting. Wrong! Students of all ages and levels should be encouraged to get creative and use all their senses and body to construct knowledge:) It is useful and fun:)  My students recently applied and practised lower and higher order thinking skills described by Bloom in his taxonomy (LOTs and HOTs).  The ‘Bloom’s Balls they created was a project to wrap up our reading of ‘The Giver’ by Luis Lowry (highly recommended for teenage groups, btw!). The students were given a selection of tasks labelled with the six tiers of Bloom’s taxonomy, and a template with pentagons to cut and paste:) You can find the template below- it is a picture, you might want to manipulate with its size to fit the page:)  Their job was to choose 2 tasks from each category, and complete them on their ‚ball’. The tasks were diverse, with different levels of...
