Practical Critical Thinking engages students in the study of critical thinking. It lays a strong foundation in the important cognitive skills necessary for critical thinking, such as comprehension, analysis, evaluation, construction, creativity, and communication.

The Teacher’s Manual contains 68 pages of instructions and answers followed by 230 black and white pages of the same reproducible activities included in the student book. The Teacher's Manual does not contain the student notes and is not usable without the student book sold separately.
