believing/doubting
The believing game/doubting game was a good way to get into a different frame of mind. I think it will be beneficial to my students in teaching them to make good arguments and a persuasive thinking activity. It could lead up to doing debates, which is something new I want to try this year with my students. I can also utilize it myself in writing the inquiry paper to see both sides of the issue and be able to refute possible arguments that others may see as problematic.

I was surprised that my writing was easier on the believing side than the doubting. I thought I would have a hard time defending that statement. Proves it is good to look at the opposite view!
I agree. I think it is a good tool to use. I wish I could use it in 3rd grade but I can't see how.
