De Bono: Six thinking hats

 Edward De Bono's Thinking Hats can help students extend their thinking about an issue or topic by wearing a range of different 'thinking' hats:


Red hat represents feelings about an issue.

White hat represents the facts about an issue.

Yellow hat represents the positive aspects of an issue.

Black (or Purple) hat represents the negative aspects.

Green hat represents creative solutions or alternatives.

Blue hat represents the thinking about the bigger picture or what the issue is really all about.
