Synopsis

This book focuses on an integrated concept of the tools required to become successful 21st century learners and global citizens. It is based on the premise of the development of the 4 C's- creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration for young minds through modules in Creative Writing, Critical Thinking and Reasoning (Verbal and Nonverbal) Creativity is an essential skill set for innovation and increased productivity. The activities and the lessons provided in this book attempt to bring out the creative element within every child and encourage them to use their creative attributes to the fullest extent by working on the self explanatory lessons. Based on the universal concept of critical thinking, this book allows its users to apply those concepts within various disciplines and also in life. Young readers are encouraged to develop their basic thinking skills through the content provided and use these skills wherever needed to become rational independent thinkers. Lastly, reasoning has been divided into two categories: verbal and non-verbal. Both these types would enable the young developers to use their analytical skills to process information and thus stimulate them to develop a fair and just mind to understand their own perspectives and others perceptions. All these three modules are interconnected and establish a special connection with the social and emotional learning aspect of an individual's journey within the learning process.
