This is the teaching manual that accompanies Elfie by Matthew Lipman
This manual aims to help children confront, recognize and explore the problematic aspects of their experience.
It helps them formulate the questions that guide such exploration and, at the same time, it helps them question the seemingly unproblematic aspects of the world and the language they use to talk about it. The manual provides students with many opportunities to organize their experience into story form-an important prerequisite for learning to write. It also provides many discussion plans that the teacher will find useful for promoting classroom dialogue. It further provides exercises designed to help children see that statements are really the beginning of inquiry and not its end, for every statement can be understood as a tentative answer to an implicit question.
Grade Range: K-2 Target Grade: 1
