How can one effectively develop critical thinking skills when writing an essay?

That’s a fantastic question! One thing that really helped me sharpen my critical thinking skills in essay writing was learning to take a step back and ask myself why behind every claim. It’s not just about making a point; it’s about digging into its foundation and considering any counterarguments. I also found that practicing this approach more deliberately while helping others through Paw Tenant was eye-opening—it's amazing how often thoughtful writing goes hand in hand with emotional insight. Whether I’m working on essays or providing real-life support, taking the time to deeply analyze different perspectives truly makes a significant impact.
