People of the Old Testament Hexagonal Thinking

$5.00

Help your students to make deeper connections between important people in the Old Testament. This fun and engaging higher-order thinking activity allows students to go beyond the basics to uncover the stories behind key figures of the Old Testament and the wider story.
.
This is the perfect differentiation tool, with students able to make surface level connections or to extend themselves and think critically and/or creatively and form innovative connections. The great thing about hexagonal thinking is that there are almost limitless connections.
.
This activity is almost entirely student-led and is perfect for revision, extension work and is suitable for leaving when you have a substitute teacher. Your middle schoolers will love the opportunity to challenge themselves individually or discuss and debate connections in pairs or in small groups.
.

Printing and Laminating
Hexagonal thinking can take a little while to prepare, but its benefits are overwhelming. My colleagues have used hexagonal thinking in two different ways:
