I used to assign some critical thinking documents to students as background documents but I dropped them eventually because the students never read them and I chose to integrate the concepts more actively. These are the documents I assigned: 1. Critical Thinking in Everyday Life: 9 Strategies http://www.criticalthinking.org/articles/sts-ct-everyday-life.cfm 2. Critical Thinking & Teaching Students How to Study and Learn (Part One) http://www.criticalthinking.org/articles/sts-ct-teaching-students-study-lear n-p1.cfm 3. Critical Thinking: Teaching Students How to Study and Learn (Part Two) http://www.criticalthinking.org/articles/sts-ct-teaching-students-study-lear n-p2.cfm 4. Critical Thinking: Teaching Students How to Study and Learn (Part Three) http://www.criticalthinking.org/articles/sts-ct-teaching-students-study-lear n-p3.cfm Critical Thinking: Teaching Students How to Study and Learn (Part Four) http://www.criticalthinking.org/articles/sts-ct-teaching-students-study-lear n-p4.cfm I would strongly recommend going to criticalthinking.org It had a lot of good information and years ago, I was in touch with someone there specifically about pedagogy who ended up being extremely helpful. It has been a while since Iıve reviewed that website but I see that it is still active and it might have some good tools for you. Good luck.
