Thinking
is the ultimate human resource. Yet we can never be satisfied with our most
important skill. No matter how good we become, we should always want to be
better." Edward de Bono
In conjunction
with the 2nd Line of Inquiry ‘Similarities and differences’ of our unit under the Transdisciplinary Theme 'Who we are', I read
out the book ‘The Patchwork Quilt’ to students. To analyse the book I used the
6 Thinking Hats. It is just an effective way to become a better thinker. "Putting
on" a hat focuses thinking. With the different parts of the thinking
process clearly defined, discussions were much better focussed and more
productive. We looked at the book through six distinct modes:
- facts,
figures, and objective information
- emotions and feelings
- negative thoughts
- positive thoughts
- creativity and new ideas
- thinking steps
Personally I love using the hats very often in my lessons. It is one of the best thinking tool ever J
