Six Thinking Hats: a Learning Activity This Activity Was Proposed by Edward De Bono in His Book the Six Thinking Hats of Learning Support for trainees and NQTs Thinking hats Six thinking hats: a learning activity This activity was proposed by Edward de Bono in his book The Six Thinking Hats of Learning. When a student is symbolically wearing a specific hat, they must look at the situation through the perspective associated with that hat. It allows learners to think about problems from a range of perspectives and is a different way of looking at, for example, a development issue. It should help students to build up their understanding of thinking through problems or issues in a more organised way. It can be even more active if six different hats are provided to wear in class, for example a sun hat, a bowler hat, a top hat, a beret, a baseball cap and a beanie hat, or learners make simple ‘crowns’ from coloured paper in white, red, black, yellow, green and blue. Equally the idea can still be used without any hats! Provide students with some information about the issue you wish them to discuss, e.g. a newspaper report, some statistics, or a photograph. Give students the outline of what the hats are used for on the board. If you are going to place the hats around the room and they have to go to each table to think about the issue then it’s a good idea to have a label at each table as well. Colour (or type) of This hat is used to: hat white hat think about geographical facts and figures red hat think about your feelings of the place / issue black hat think about the disadvantages / bad things yellow hat think about the advantages / good things green hat think of creative ideas to tackle the geographical problem sum up the geographical issues and how they could / might be blue hat resolved Work in pairs or threes. Choose one hat to start with. Think about what that hat is used for and make notes about the development issue from that viewpoint. Move on to another hat, finishing with the last hat on the list. Debriefing/class discussion on the issue but also on how learners felt hats helped them to think about the issue. Refer to Smith, M., Walker, S. and Sugden, B. ‘The Green Variety Show 2003’, Teaching Geography, July 2003, pp 108–112 for an example of how this can be used. geography.org.uk .

  • FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 2017. Is It Fall and Winter?
    THE FASHION GROUP FOUNDATION PRESENTS FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 TREND OVERVIEW BY MARYLOU LUTHER N E W Y O R K • LONDON • MILAN • PARIS DOLCE & GABBANA 2017. Is it Fall and Winter? Now and Next? Or a fluid season of see it/buy it and see it/wait for it? The key word is fluid, as in… Gender Fluid. As more women lead the same business lives as men, the more the clothes for those shared needs become less sex-specific. Raf Simons of Calvin Klein and Anna Sui showed men and women in identical outfits. For the first time, significant numbers of male models shared the runways with female models. Some designers showed menswear separately from women’s wear but sequentially at the same site. Transgender Fluid. Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler hired transgender models. Transsexuals also modeled in London, Milan and Paris. On the runways, diversity is the meme of the season. Model selections are more inclusive—not only gender fluid, but also age fluid, race fluid, size fluid, religion fluid. And Location Fluid. Philipp Plein leaves Milan for New York. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy leave New York for Paris. Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Rachel Comey leave New York for Los Angeles. Tom Ford returns to New York from London and Los Angeles. Given all this fluidity, you could say: This is Fashion’s Watershed Moment. The moment of Woman as Warrior—armed and ready for the battlefield. Woman in Control of Her Body—to reveal, as in the peekaboobs by Anthony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent.
