CRITICAL READING The Great Questions articles consist of sets of authors presenting different views on the same issue. As such, students who read the articles will be exposed to different perspectives. In the context of Great Questions articles, providing students with the means to weigh the arguments being made and formulate their own reasoned opinion is a major instructional undertaking. Using mnemonics: M.A.R.K.E.R Mnemonics are organisational tools for helping students remember complex ideas or factual knowledge. Each letter in a mnemonic can represent a procedure for tackling important ideas. By way of example, M.A.R.K.E.R, can be used by students to critically examine a written argument contained in a Great Questions essay.
