[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

-History teaches us to interrogate sources
-Maths teaches us to think procedurally and logically
-English leads us into examining narrator and character motives and perspective
-Religious studies teaches us that faith claims and truth claims are often divergent
-Science teaches us to test our hypotheses, and to lean on tangible evidence.
Etc.

The architecture and foundation of critical thinking are imbedded and embodied by the disciplinary skills intrinsic to the existing taxonomy of academic subjects.

It’s not an assembly on why Andrew Tate is bad (which he is) or Facebook is stuffed with inane rubbish (which it is). It’s the whole academic experience of a school’s curriculum- when taught thoroughly.

Just some of the books which I have referenced and used in my geography teaching over this year🧵

I'm passionate about subject specific reading at KS3. By using examples from great authors and journalists in lessons it exposes students to the variety of reading available to them
