18. DE BONO’S SIX THINKING CARDS (Discussion, Collaboration, Reading)
Description: Adapted from De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats, this is a structured group activity in which different perspectives are explored amongst a group of six students.
Application: This protocol is especially useful for exploring controversial topics.
Process: Model this process before you use it the first time. Divide students into groups of six. Direct students to read article, passage, or watch a video, taking notes. Hand out different colored card tents to six students. Create a chart so that students know what each colored card needs to do in the discussion. (Yellow card tent: express the positive aspect of the topic; Red card tent: express emotions connected to topic; White card tent: give neutral facts connected to topic; Green card tent: create additional questions for others to answer about the topic; Black card tent: express negative comments in regards to the topic; Blue card tent: facilitate discussion amongst all participants).
