I usually start with a link to basic reading and notetaking skills. Then 👉 them to some critical thinking excersizes. 🤔 is thier response. I explain without basic skills of critical thinking and reading/ notetaking there is a low chance they will understand what I would give them. Then I say come back after they research xyz and compare and contrast with current event's so we can discuss. 😍

I do that too, but the problem is that some of them refuse to read it, saying "that article is from a republican website" or "from a conspiracy theorist website"...it's sooooo frustrating.

Think Highschool debate, they will j6mp on the chance to prove you wrong. All along its not about being right its about getting a discussion going.

I'm through with it. I got people sick and dying all around me now. It's too late for most of them.
