Each HAT COLOR represents a different way of viewing an issue.  To help students understand issues from all perspectives and learn to respect others' points of view, as a group, students examine the issue from each side.  The HAT COLOR defines the lens through which students analyze the topic. The way that the hats are distributed can help the teacher guide the discussion back and forth between perspectives, as needed based upon the students' discussion and findings.

  • When the student finishes sharing, other participants may ask clarifying questions, but avoid presenting counter-arguments.

When it is a child's turn to roll the die, he or she becomes the leader for that question and makes a bulleted list of the main points discussed. Other students divide their paper into six sections, one for each question, to take personal notes about each discussion.*]]> 2019-03-25 08:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smills26/2jpuv5okxw7p/wish/344705543 CUBE-IT QUESTION STARTERS* smills26 https://padlet.com/smills26/2jpuv5okxw7p/wish/344707172 Teacher develops one question per question starter, on the issue or reading, which ask students to:
