This student-centered hexagonal thinking activity for Google Drive will help your students to use critical thinking skills as they make connections between ideas, quotes, etc. in any text of your choosing. This template is editable for personal classroom use, and you will also receive student reflection and synthesis handouts as a bonus.
 
Hexagonal thinking is a retrieval and connection strategy. The goal is for students to make a generalization about linked ideas. Students are given (or self-generate) several relevant ideas, concepts, feelings, images, terms, etc., make connections, receive quick teacher feedback, and explain why and how.
 
There is no right or wrong answer in this activity, so long as students are able to justify and explain their connections. You may want to increase the rigor by requiring textual citations to support these connections. You can also have students “re-shuffle” to find a new way of connecting the hexagons.
