Task:  Good afternoon!  When you arrive to class, please get out your i-Pad and DRAW the characteristics of a critical thinker.  We'll spend the first portion of class discussing the process of critical thinking.  Then, we'll extend our examination to review collaboration in HWC and I'll explain the requirements for your Primer project.  Next, you'll engage in a discussion of Guns, Germs, & Steel.  Finally, if there is any time remaining, you'll continue working with your group to create your Primer presentation.
