Critical Thinking EAP Worksheets
In this critical thinking worksheet, students learn about critical thinking and examine a case study of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, analysing how he uses critical thinking skills, and applying those skills to solve a mystery of their own. First, students identify five adjectives they think describe a critical thinker and discuss them with a partner. Students then read a text about critical thinking and match words from the text to their definitions. Next, students answer comprehension questions based on the text. After that, students read a text about Sherlock Holmes and answer true or false questions. In pairs, students then imagine they are detectives using critical thinking to solve a case. Students then discuss notes they took at the crime scene and write a paragraph about what they think happened. Finally, pairs share their deductions with the class and explain their reasoning.
