CRITICAL THINKING with TRIADS BUNDLE 1.0
TRIADS are fun filled vocabulary developers that engage your students in critical thinking while exercising the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy – analysis, evaluation, and creation. At the same time, your students will be forming word relationships.
TRIADS BUNDLE 1.0 brings you 3 sets of TRIADS in one money saving product. This bundle contains:
Find a word that can be added to each of the words on the TRIAD. The common word comes before or after each of the 3 words to make a familiar phrase or a compound word. The common word for the TRIAD flip, half, and horse is BACK: BACKflip, halfBACK, and horseBACK.
- 120 TRIADS task cards
- 60 color task cards
- 60 grayscale task cards
- 1 recording sheet master
- 1 answer key
- Reproduce the TRIADS cards on cardstock, laminate, cut apart, and have them to use for years to come. Two sets of TRIADS are included: one set in color and one in grayscale. You may wish to print the grayscale copies on colored cardstock to give them more pizazz.
- TRIADS are great for literacy or critical thinking centers. Place the cards you wish to use at the center. I encourage my students to work collaboratively to solve the TRIADS. Upon reaching consensus, they record their group’s answers. Naturally, you can direct your students to work independently, if you prefer.
- As an anchor activity, TRIADS are ideal. Train your students to attend to the TRIAD of the day as soon as they arrive each morning. Provide the recording sheet or instruct them to use notebook paper. Rather than collecting more papers to grade and return, invite your students to share their answers at a common time; perhaps during your morning meeting, just before lining up for lunch or specials, or prior to leaving for the day.
- Carry a supply of TRIADS cards with you as you travel to special classes. Use them as a sponge activity when you find you have a bit of waiting time.
- Assign your fast finishers to work on TRIADS. They will feel challenged and rewarded when they engage in this activity.
