  • Improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
  • Develop problem solving, decision making, and leadership skills.
  • Develop confidence and independence..
  • Craft better questions. 
  • Lead more focused and in depth discussions.
  • Organize team work more effectively.

What is SIX HATS®? 
  • A framework created by Dr. Edward de Bono in which “Thinking” is visible, focused, in depth, and at higher levels of critical and creative thinking.
  • A strategy which can be used on a simple level, a concrete level or an abstract, sophisticated level. 

How does SIX HATS® work?

SIX HATS® provides a visual image that is easy to learn, remember and use 

In Six Hats Thinking we deliberately put on one of the hats and hold our thinking to that style for the moment. We ask others to put on the same hat and work the topic from that point of view. Then we switch hats and work the topic collectively from another style of thinking. We can use the Six Hats model to clarify what other participants "seem to be saying". We can also use the model to ensure completeness in our thinking about an idea, problem or subject.

A Skills you need to work effectively with other Cultures

For Discussion Purposes: Elaborate Pro-Actively

What does it mean to “elaborate”? 

On a scale of between 1 and 6: How good are you at elaborating?

How many examples of elaboration can you use as a group?

In what situations can you use elaboration skills? Brainstorm. Be specific.

What are necessary skills or competencies related to elaboration? 

Do you want to develop them? Why or Why not?

What are the possible benefits of becoming better at elaborating?

Are there any negative consequences for elaborating? 

Do you or someone you know elaborate well? 

What do good “elaborators” do differently?  

Should children be encouraged to develop elaboration skills? 


Discuss;

“Over-communicating” is a core concept in effective cross-cultural communication.

Post Pandemic

Experts estimate the long term consequences of the pandemic are going to be huge. Change is coming, no doubt. How are our lives going to change after the pandemic is over? That’s the question.

Some tendencies to change are already here but are going to be boosted in the pandemic aftermath. 

We cannot make definitive conclusions, but we can, at least, formulate some hypotheses.

Consider topics sch as: 
hygiene, education, architecture and spaces, communication, supply chains, mobility, work, stress-relievers, fun/ joy, oblivion and loving-kindness.

Pollution is the term used to describe toxins in our environment

Background-Context-Stakeholders
Industrial pollution has been regulated more than in the past but is still a huge problem for children and future generations.

Facts / Common Knowledge

There are 4 major types of pollution

Data / Statistic

Out of 30 students interviewed, 28 reported seeing garbage all over the schoolyard when they come back from the weekend

Line of Reasoning: Flow of Logic:

If A equals B, and B equals C, then A must equal C.  If the statements in your equation are true, then your conclusion must be true as well. Also works well for "if... then..." statementsIf every school in America agreed to stop producing paper-based fliers and went green with online fliers instead, we would reduce our carbon footprint by 30%

Example

For example, the weather in Florida never used to get below 30 degrees. Now, it is usual for them to experience temperatures in the teens!

Small Story/Anecdote

One time when I went swimming in the ocean, I couldn't paddle two feet without touching a piece of garbage floating around me

Quotes (Direct or indirect) from authorities or primary/secondary sources

Michael Osmond, Director of the Centers for Disease Control, reports, "Pollution spreading is an extremely critical issue that must be addressed by policy makers and the general public in order to get it under control."

Rhetorical Questioning:

Can the consequences of pollution be balanced with the needs of developing countries such as China?

A rhetorical question should not be simplistic or phrased so that the only answer is in favor of your opinion such as:

 Don't you hate pollution? or Who would want to live in a world surrounded by heaps of garbage and poor quality air?

Response / Reaction / OpinionIn my experience, many students find recycling to be an afterthought - not necessarily a critical issue.

Personal Appeal/ Empathy: Appeal to our human emotions; establish common ground that your audience can relate to. 

We all want a cleaner world for our generation and for future generations. Everyone should have the right to be born into a clean world

Concession: Acknowledge opposing points of view and offer your rebuttal

While some people believe that pollution is only a problem for those living in major cities, they are inaccurate.  Pollution spreads far beyond the invisible boundaries that outline our cities and metropolitan areas.

"If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.” -Jonas Salk

There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.
