To incorporate the 'Argue' level of Blooms Taxonomy in your learning design, prompt learners with questions beginning with "Explain why you think." Encourage learners to argue by presenting diverse perspectives and asking them to defend their opinions. Help learners engage critically by providing evidence to support their arguments. Consider incorporating debates, discussion activities, or reflective writing prompts to facilitate arguing at this level. Guide learners in analyzing various viewpoints and forming a well-supported argument. By promoting arguing, you foster higher-order thinking skills and encourage learners to think deeply about the content. Empower learners to express their opinions confidently while also listening to and respectfully considering others' perspectives. Strengthen critical thinking and communication skills by encouraging learners to construct persuasive and compelling arguments. By creating opportunities for learners to argue, you promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter and enhance their ability to articulate and defend their viewpoints effectively.
Explain why you think
Assign a debate-style activity where learners take opposing positions on a relevant topic and engage in a structured 15-minute argumentative discussion to practice critical thinking and persuasion skills.
