Fun at Notre Dame

“Hexagonal Thinking is a teaching strategy that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and the exploration of connections between concepts. Using hexagonal shapes with key terms or concepts written on them, students arrange these hexagons into a web or a pattern, creating connections between the concepts.”

English 10 participated in this activity as a wrap up to their novel, “Darius the Great is Not Okay”

They presented their webs to the class and had to explain the rationale for their connections.
