Critical Thinking Detective: Vocabulary Book 1

Critical Thinking Detective Vocabulary Book 1 features fun, easy-to-use detective mysteries that can be solved by anyone who's willing to carefully read them and study the evidence! The vocabulary words used in these stories were gathered from many sources including the SAT and ACT word lists; students must identify the definitions of new vocabulary as they try to uncover the subtle clues hidden in the statements from witnesses and suspects. Perfect for grades 5-12+, these puzzles aren't solved through tricky logic or math concepts - they develop critical thinking skills by requiring students to read carefully, analyze and synthesize information, develop observation skills, build reading comprehension, and use deductive and inductive thinking skills. The story is presented on one page, with a worksheet on the facing page for students to fill in to describe their conclusions. 40 classroom/home-reproducible pages, softcover; answer key included. Grades 5-12.
