Critical thinking promoted in the arts classroom
Argument writing promotes critical thinking in all content areas and helps prepare students for college and careers. If you are interested in learning more about argument writing, there is a recorded webinar that can help you get started. Lisbon High School visual arts teacher, Pam Ouellette, worked on developing a recent webinar with two other teachers: Paula Stevens (science and technology, Stratton) and Heather Manchester (literacy coach/instructional strategist, Poland Regional H.S.). Several Lisbon High School teachers contributed argument writing assignment examples (Jonathan Carsley, Laurie Howe, Judy Roy, and Jen Fox). Pam is a teacher leader with the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative as well.
