But, besides that, I came across "A Good Book, in Theory" by Alan Sears. This book, a "guide to theoretical thinking," touched upon the foundations of critical theory as a practical living experience. Anyways, at the end of the first chapter was this reflection question:
Write a paper from your own experience that supports or challenges Terry Eagleton's argument that children make good theorists.
On that note, here is Eagleton's quote:
"Children make the best theorists, since they have not yet been educated into accepting our routine social practice as 'natural' and so insist on posting to those practices the most embarassingly general and fundamental questions, regarding them with a wondering estrangement which we adults have long forgotten."
Use this question as a discussion point the next time we meet.
