    • Higher order thoughts.

    • Inquiry into "WHY" and "HOW" of concepts.

Page 12: Socratic Principles Continued

  • Encourages critical thinking through exploration of various subjects.

Page 13: Measuring Success (Socratic Inquiry)

  • Socrates' inquiry focuses on metrics for measuring success in life.

Page 14: Socratic Paradoxes

  • Notable sayings:

    • "I know that I know nothing."

    • "The unexamined life is not worth living."

Page 15: Plato

Page 16: Ideals of Plato

    2. Holistic Thinking

Page 22: Partial Thinking

  • Focus on specific aspects of a situation for analytical purposes.

Page 23: Holistic Thinking

  • Derived from the Greek "HOLOS," meaning whole.

  • A perspective that considers broader patterns and systems.

Page 24: Comparison of Thinking Styles

  • Assessment of the effectiveness of partial versus holistic thinking.

Page 25: Truth in Thinking Styles

  • Discusses the concept of truth in relation to both thinking modes.

Page 26: Learner's Digest

  • Reflect on how to apply lessons learned in real-life situations as a learner.

Page 27: Conclusion

  • Wrap-up of the lesson with gratitude and encouragement for the day.
