Hatty Me
Author: Patricia Huion
Facilitated by the teacher
The aim is to become aware of your default hat and have the choice to adapt when necessary.
30 mins per day x 7 days
One Student
Whiteboard, crayons, pen & paper
Steps
- Each student should buy a ‘paper blanc’ i.e. a writing journal.
- Each day, the student should choose a conversation, discussion or debate and write down their arguments and colour-code them using the categories of the Thinking Hats of de Bono.
- At the end of the month, the students should review their arguments and choose which Hat colour has been the easiest one for them and which one has been the hardest.
- Students draw a picture of themselves and draw hats on it - like a magician to visualise Step 3. They can use different sizes of text and colours to define their favourite interaction style.
Reflection
The students could share their work with each other as this could help them to complete the activity. For example, it may help some students with parts of the activity that they struggled with.
