Thumbs Up for Direct Teaching of Thinking Skills.
Jackson, Roberta M.
Educational Leadership, v43 n8 p32-36 May 1986

The teacher introduced the skill of analyzing for personification to her students. The class experimented with the skill, completed the task, and applied the skill to subsequent assignments.
