We begin by focusing on the subjects of deliberate attention, so that students can use them in an organised manner: asking specific questions and looking for specific answers. The next five lessons deal with the overall organisation of thinking so that it can be used in a deliberate and productive manner. The intention is to treat thinking as an organised operation rather than a discursive ramble in which one thing leads to another. Some of the lessons in the second half refer to processes learned in CoRT 1 (BREADTH) but the lessons can still be used even if CoRT 1 has not been taught, by omitting references to it. Tools: 130 1: RECOGNISE The deliberate effort to identify a situation in order to make it easier to understand or to deal with. 131 2: ANALYSE Two types of analysis. Deliberate dividing up of a situation in order to think about it more effectively. 132 3: COMPARE Using comparison in order to understand a situation. Examining points of similarity and difference in offered comparisons. 133 4: SELECT The deliberate effort to find something that fulfills the requirements. Selecting from different possibilities. 134 5: FIND OTHER WAYS The deliberate effort to find alternative ways of looking at things. 135 6: START The practical business of starting to think about something. What is the first thing to do? 136 7: ORGANISE The practical business of organising the way a situation is to be tackled. 137 8: FOCUS Looking at different aspects of a situation, especially being clear as to what aspect is under consideration at the moment. 138 9: CONSOLIDATE What has been achieved so far? Drawing together and being clear about what has been done and what has been left out. 139 10: CONCLUDE Arriving at a definite conclusion, even if that declares that no definite conclusion is possible.
