Critical thinking is often defined as “disciplined, reflective thinking that helps you decide what to believe or do based on evidence and sound reasoning rather than emotion, authority, or habit.” Yet one crucial aspect is frequently overlooked: subtext. Writers often embed assumptions, values, and unargued claims beneath the literal meaning of a text, presenting them as accepted fact. This workshop explores how to identify and critically evaluate these hidden messages and their persuasive power.
