The Why Why Why Game: Practice with Argument
A quick, engaging, higher order thinking, and fun activity elicits students' critical thinking skills to practice making claims, using data and establishing warrants to support arguments. It is a role-play, a pair and share, then a critical thinking discussion using quotations from Transcendental philosophers, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The quotes can easily turn into persuasive writing prompts.
