Critical thinking isn't so much an influence as it is a necessary prerequisite. If you write without thinking, your work will be random and incoherent; just whatever popped into your head. It won't make sense to anyone, even to you when you read it later.
The only way to write convincingly and with force is to plan out what you will say. Some people plan with an outline, others by writing a rough draft then revising, still others (I envy them) by working things out in their heads, but every good writer thinks carefully about his work.
Critical thinking is important to the development of higher order literacy comprehension skills. These skills include cause and effect, and compare and contrast relationships, theme, analyzing persuasive text, distinguishing facts from opinion, synthesizing what is read to draw conclusions and make inferences, as well as basic skills of word knowledge that allow a reader to clarify difficult text.
Critical thinking skills are very important for a writer! Critical thinking means being able to "step back" and think about what's going on in a logical and rational manner. Being logical means that you are better able to express your thoughts and emotions in your writing, because you have examined your own mind as carefully as you have examined the outside world!
The effects of critical thinking are forming effective judgement skills, understanding and recognizing problems. It is also a valuable part of most professional fields.
Critical thinking is a special way of digesting what you read in a complex, insightful way. It teaches you to, among other things, "read between the lines." Thus critical thinking can help you read in a way that gets behind what the author is really trying to say, besides what is obviously happening in the text.
Thinking critically in the future will help you read and process information more carefully, allowing you to question and analyze the sources of information to distinguish between fact and opinion. When writing, critical thinking will enable you to present logical arguments supported by evidence and reason, fostering clearer communication and effective persuasion. Overall, critical thinking will empower you to approach information with a discerning eye, leading to more informed decisions and a deeper understanding of complex issues.
What you are reading can influence how you should read it by affecting your understanding, interpretation, and emotional response to the text. Factors such as the genre, author's purpose, historical context, and literary devices used can all impact how you approach and engage with the material. It's important to be aware of these influences to read effectively and critically.
ad “Dead Men's Path” by Chinua Achebe (1930) and respond to the following in 350-400 words. As you read “Dead Men’s Path,” think about how it is an example of the failure to think critically through the nuances of a situation, and ask yourself how (in what specific ways) does Michael Obi fail to think critically—and why? Additionally, how does the story, in terms of its thematic concerns, relate to critical thinking, as you understand the term at this point?

criticize things for the sake of criticizing.
First I must point out that the sentence is very badly structured and phrased, it is not good English. Taking the sentence as is, with commas added it would read like this:- 'Christy is working on becoming an intentional learner, in fact she has successfully learned to engage her learning patterns, think, read and write critically' I would suggest that a better way of saying what I think the sentence is trying to convey would be:- "Christy is aiming to become an intentional learner, she has successfully learned to improve her ability to read and write and think critically."
In order to truly read critically, every aspect of what you are reading must be paid attention. The author's own words must be put through a filter which takes into consideration what motives lie behind the words.
