__**Task #1**__ - Developing critical thinking in the library. How can it be done? (Note: according to dictionary.com, critical thinking is //the mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion//.) How could you use this? Work with the people in your group to create a list of ideas for using the information in the links above with your students. You will have 15 min. to do this (unless Pete thinks we need more/less time).
