The Five Saids of Critical Thinking
It's a world of fake news, deep fake technology and well, politicians from over there. So, here's is our quick and easy student guide to critical thinking.
Said what?
What exactly was said? Not a paraphrase or a headline or a meme.
Said who?
Who specifically said it? Not who reported it or who you heard it from.
Said when?
When precisely was it said? Not a rehash of something from the past made to seem like new news.
Said where?
What platform was used originally? Not just where you came across your version of it
Said why?
What was the motivation behind what was said? Everyone has an agenda.
