My top three definitions in respect to composing hypertexts were by MCC General Education Initiatives (1), Victor P. Maiorana (2), and Diane F. Halpern (3). The MCC definition relates to composing hypertexts perfectly when it said, “It (critical thinking) also includes the ability to generate questions, construct, and recognize the structure of arguments, and adequately support arguments. It goes on to say that in order to think critically you must see relationships and evaluate information/ data and come up with solutions while remaining open to different beliefs and methods. That is the main goal of hypertexts. You want to be opinionated and clear about the purpose of your website while maintaining an open mind and presenting the material in an unbiased fashion.

The second definition by Victor P Maiorana states that you must achieve understanding, evaluate view points, and solve problems. Again, when composing a hypertext you need to come up with a view point and have a purpose. It is important to evaluate the situation and come up with solutions.

The third definition by Halpern is right on the money in terms of making sure that you are goal oriented with purposeful insight and reasoning. Also, one must evaluated their thinking process once they feel like they have reached a conclusion.
