What educators are saying

My students loved it. They said it allowed them the opportunity to make connections they maybe would not have thought of on their own. Several groups took the challenge to connect every single hexagon in some way. (They were that engaged!)
My students absolutely loved this activity! They remained engaged and loved being able to make various connections. They worked in small groups and then walked around and looked at others' maps. They enjoyed sharing the connections they made. Wonderful resource!

Description

This Hexagonal Thinking activity for Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is the most fun way for your students to show what they know about the play. Hexagonal thinking is a hands-on activity that allows students to make visual connections concerning a text. This activity can be used any time after the trial in To Kill a Mockingbird.

To use this hexagonal thinking activity, students will start by placing ONE of the hexagons in the middle of their workspace. It can be any of the hexagons. Next, they will brainstorm how the other hexagons connect to the original hexagon placed in the center. They will place connecting ideas around the original hexagon. Each hexagon MUST have a connection to EVERY hexagon it borders.

They can defend their connections orally or in writing. You choose!

Here's what you'll get:

  • Teacher directions
  • Student directions
  • Hexagonal thinking activity for To Kill a Mockingbird
  • Stationary option (no cutting!)
  • Writing task

Your students will love the hands-on nature of hexagonal thinking. They will be engaged in meaningful discussions about the connections found in the text as they work though creating their maps.

You will love hearing their connection discussions and reading their defense of those connections.

Don’t want to cut up a hexagonal activity? Great! Use the stationary option for just as much engagement.

Prep is quick and easy... Just print, cut, and use.

Bonus: Hexagons are arranged in an easy to cut format!
