The Six Thinking Hats by Bono is a powerful tool developed by the thinker, psychologist, and writer Edward de Bono in the 1980s to enhance creative and critical thinking in decision-making and problem-solving and to develop lateral thinking.
In the educational context, this technique can inspire a deeper and collaborative approach to learning.
This technique involves using six imaginary or physical hats to focus on the problem or challenge from six different perspectives.
Hats and perspectives:
  • White Hat. Information: Facts and data 
  • Black Hat. Pessimistic: Critique and caution 
  • Yellow Hat. Optimistic: Benefits and advantages 
  • Red Hat. Intuition: Emotions and feelings 
  • Green Hat. Creativity: Alternatives and proposals 
  • Blue Hat. Executive: Organization and processes 
How to use the Six Thinking Hats:
  1. Choose a topic, event, problem, or project to analyze. 
  2. Divide the students into groups of six or divide the entire class into six groups. 
  3. If you divide the students into groups of six, each student will be assigned a hat and thinking style to analyze. For example, one student will have the White Hat, which is informative, and will have to investigate the facts and data being analyzed. If you divide the class into six groups, each group will be assigned a hat and thinking style to analyze. For example, one complete group will have the White Hat, which is informative, and will have to investigate the facts and data being analyzed. 
  4. Once they have completed the analysis, either each member within their team or each team within the classroom will share their part of the analysis. 
  5. Others can ask questions or request further information, but always from their hat and thinking style.
It's also possible to ask each student to consider a situation or problem from the six perspectives if you want to conduct this activity individually.
Materials:
PDF containing: 
• Explanation and theory of the topic 
• Posters with guiding questions for each hat and thinking style. You can project and explain these to the students or print them and place them in different parts of the classroom or a hallway to indicate the different workstations for each thinking type. 
• Interactive notebook format. Two formats of interactive notebooks with the guiding questions for your students to follow. Two blank interactive notebook formats for the teacher to add questions or even for asking students to think of questions related to the topic and each thinking style.

The goal of this worksheet is to hone critical skills such as reading comprehension and the analysis of information related to the behaviour and physical characteristics of human ancestors. Students will apply these skills to connect this knowledge with visual representations of skulls and various fossils. To achieve this, students will:

1. Begin by reading a text containing information about human fossils.
2. Observe images of human fossils and match each image with the appropriate description, providing justifications for their choices.
3. Proceed to construct a timeline that illustrates the evolution of humanity, with a specific focus on understanding the reasons for this evolution and its significance.
4. Answer open questions in order to understand the evolution of the human being, specifically why it happened and the importance of it.

In essence, this worksheet serves as a comprehensive exercise to help students explore the evolution of human beings by integrating textual and visual information, critically analysing it, and drawing connections to broader concepts.
