Student Behavior Traits – Classroom Conversations and Hexagonal Thinking
$3.75
Description
Have you noticed certain student traits or behaviors are distracting to themselves or others? Looking for ways to create meaningful, engaging conversations while building connections around solving those behavior traits? Classroom conversations and hexagonal thinking will do just that for your students. Hexagonal thinking is designed to get students to think creatively about the vocabulary, or in this case the behavior traits, and also to spark discussions. The unique part about this activity is there are no right or wrong answers. Each student brings his/her own experiences, or lack thereof when sharing..
How does it work?
✔️Give each student or group of students a copy of the hexagons to cut out. I prefer to have enough hexagon sets cut out for each group/table and then laminate the them to reuse each year- it saves time and copies.
✔️Student(s) will group the hexagons as he/she sees fit. Since hexagons have six sides, no more than six words/hexagons can link to one center hexagon. Hexagons can be grouped into specific groups or connect together in a “Chemistry molecular geometry” type of way- there isn’t a correct or incorrect way to group the hexagons!
✔️To spark discussion, use the Classroom Conversations cards. (I prefer to print, cut out, and laminate these cards to refer to after students have a chance to sort the hexagons).
✔️For individual reflection, students can complete either the half or full sheet reflection pages.
✔️This activity works independently or in small groups.
