Hexagonal Thinking is Critical Thinking
When you use hexagonal thinking, you invite students into a critical thinking conversation.
As they weave together big ideas, they must decide which ones connect most closely to which others, pushing them deeply into your material as they debate the possibilities with their peers.
Try it with plays, poems, and novels. Try combining hexagonal thinking with one-pagers. There so many possibilities! My free digital kit makes it easy to get started.

Hey there, I'm Betsy. So nice to meet you!
