White Hat...*The Facts - What are the facts?, What information do I have? What information do I need to find out?
Black Hat...*The Negatives - What problems could arise?, What are the disadvantages?
Yellow Hat....*The Positives - Why is this a good idea?, What are the advantages and benefits?
Red Hat....*Feelings - How do I feel about this? What do I like about these feelings?, What do I not like about these Feelings?
Green Hat...*Creativity - What new ideas are possible? What is my suggestion? How can this be changed or improved?
Blue Hat...*The Big Picture - What thinking is needed?, Where are we now? What do we need to do next?
Encourage children to reflect upon their 'Thinking' and learn to apply different ways of thinking for different situations.
Of course these concepts can be introduced in a simple form for the young ones, allowing them just to become more aware of ways of thinking and to begin building thinking strategies...
Use these hats as a guide to reflect upon thinking types when.....
*brainstorming new ideas for classroom management, classroom rules and discipline strategies.
*planning class projects such as assembly items, performances
*class meetings
*problem solving techniques
*group projects
*book reports / character profiles (how do others think)
*discussing cause and effect
*show and tell / newstelling
*reflecting at 'class sharing circle'
