This article is investigating the critical thinking method in the teaching of the theme “Manas and manastelling skill” by zigzag strategy. For the setting of the critical thinking tasks during teaching, various questions about four different texts were analyzed by students using the Venn diagram, cinquain, cluster, and crossword strategies. This method is recommended for teaching and the object recognition of the theme “Manas and manastelling skill” in the education process. In this work, students have tested practically an approach for an independent understanding of the theme and its interpretation to each other. Students were able to develop their organizational skills, ability to work individually, in pairs, and in groups.
