Ministry of Education (2006) of Ontario,
Canada, has incorporated multimodal texts into the curriculum for young children as early as at stage one (p. 45). Multimodal texts are referred to as media texts in the curriculum, and are introduced in the English Curriculum guide as one of four strands: oral communication, reading, writing and media literacy.
In the UK, a new primary curriculum is being reviewed and this will be implemented in 2011. “Viewing”, is defined as a skill necessary for understanding and responding to information, and “broadcasting” is identified as one of the key skills required to present ideas and opinions. (Department for Children schools and families UK, 2009).
Australia has a long history of incorporating multimodal texts into the context of English learning (Curriculum Corporation., 1994; New South Wales Board of Studies, 1998). In the recent outlined Australia National English Curriculum, systematic exploration and production of multimodal texts have been introduced throughout the school years (National Curriculum Board, 2008).
MOE Singapore has also introduced new English Language Curriculum in 2010 for primary and secondary schools to be implemented from 2010. In the new curriculum, viewing and representing skills are introduced as receptive and productive skills to incorporate a wide range of literacy information/functional texts (Singapore, 2010)
There is an acknowledgement that the English Curriculum has to evolve according to the changing world to prepare children for the opportunities and challenges of life in the 21st century.

The brain’s growth is not dependent on discovering the right solution to the problem. Instead, it is the problem-solving process that increases brain growth (Conklin, 2012). Reference:Conklin, W. (2012). Higher Order Thinking Skills. CA: Shell Education.

Evaluation Design:
To evaluate information, students need to be able to distinguish essential data from information that is simply interesting. They must be able to identify core themes, form and support opinions, and identify inconsistencies, bias, or lack of coherence or accuracy in a text.Do you agree with…What is your opinion of…How would you prove … ?How would you prioritize…Appraise, compare, conclude, criticize, justify, and support.

Higher Order Thinking Skills
Lateral thinking
Critical thinking
Creative thinking
Thinking that seeks new ways of looking at a problem rather than proceeding by logical steps.
Critical thinking is reasonable, reflective thinking that is aimed at deciding what to believe or what to do.
The process we use to develop ideas that are unique, useful and worthy of further elaboration.

The students must acquire and master the skills at lower levels in order to advance to higher levels on the spectrum of the Bloom Taxonomy (McNamara, Jacovina, & Allen, 2016)

According to the report, either the economy will grow by 2% in the next quarter or else unemployment will continue to rise. Since unemployment cannot rise any higher than it is, the economy is probably going to grow.

You must break me before you use me.
If you put your fingers in my eyes, my jaws will open wide.
I’m full of holes but still hold water.

I turn things around but never move myself.
