Thunks

Thunks are drawn from Independent Thinking’s work in Philosophy for Children and have been used with thousands of young people to get them thinking deeply and critically.

Questions where there are no rights or wrongs are hugely liberating for young people and generate levels of thinking that you often don’t achieve with traditional ’guess what’s in the teacher’s head’ type question and answering where there are right or wrong answers.

 

 

Some examples...

  • Is black a colour?
     
  • Can you touch the wind?
     
  • If I swapped brains with you would you still be you and me still me?
     
  • Is a millionaire who is marooned on a desert island still a millionaire?
     
  • Is plastic (which comes from oil, which comes from trees) man-made or natural?
