SIX THINKING HATS

White Hat is for facts, figures and information.

Remember It = Like writing facts on a "white'board

- What questions do I need to ask and what other information do I need?

SIX THINKING HATS

• Red Hat is for feelings.

Remember It = Red for emotion, passion like a red heart- How do I feel about this right now? What is my intuition or hunch about this topic? .

SIX THINKING HATS

• Blue Hat - Thinking about thinking.

• Remember It = Blue for the Teacher's Hat- How did I get to that answer? What have we done so far and what's next? .

SIX THINKING HATS

• Yellow Hat - Is for all the good points.

• Remember It = Good like the sun

- Why is this worth doing? How will it help

us? Why will it work? .

SIX THINKING HATS

• Green Hat - is for creativity and growing different or new ideas.

Remember it = Green grass grows- What other suggestions can we make?

What are some other ways to solve this problem?

SIX THINKING HATS

Black Hat - The Doubtful Thinker

The Crtitical Analysis.

I don't like thinking of it as The Bad Points. Crtitical analysis is a good skill and much needed. Using "bad points" conjures negativityWhat caution do we need to take ?What are the weaknesses of this idea?

The Combination of Yellow and Black Hat

• Don't forget that the hats can be striped too.

• Yellow and Black stripes

• =Evaluation
