FAQs on Picture Composition for Class 1
How do I build critical thinking in my child?
Avoid questions with a yes or no answer. Instead, prefer to ask how or why questions which prompt longer responses. Read the segments on critical thinking exercises for each of the 7 activities for examples.
Can I have an example for asking a question that promotes critical thinking in this picture?
Yes, indeed! For instance, rather than asking, “Are the kids on the swing wearing similar clothes?”, which would elicit the response, “Yes,” which is minimal language practice, ask “How are the kids on the swing dressed?”
This will involve answering with a full sentence and requires your child to observe, analyze, and synthesize information before answering. Now, that is how critical thinking develops!
Are there any simple tips to help improve my child’s English through these exercises?
Yes, absolutely. When the child answers with a “yes” or “no,” gently get them to use a full sentence.
