Welcome back to Growing With Proficiency The Podcast. We've got something special lined up for Episode 50!!! In this episode, we've got Bertha Delgadillo, Spanish teacher and 2022 TOY for the state of Georgia.
Today Bertha is sharing with us all about Hexagonal Thinking in the World Language class. But, what is Hexagonal Thinking? It´s a great strategy borrowed from the business world and often seen in English Language Arts classes where students get to make different connections among topics or ideas.
And, guess what? You can tweak and adjust it to fit our World Language class, no matter the level.
Bertha has used Hexagonal Thinking not only as a formative assessment with PQAs (and if you want to know more about PQAs check out Episode 48) but also as a formative assessment. Whether you're exploring a novel, a movie, a story, a topic, or even a song, Bertha's strategies will help your students connect the dots like never before.
In this chat, Bertha breaks it all down, giving you the lowdown on what Hexagonal Thinking is and, more importantly, how you can put it into action. No jargon, just practical tips and insights you can use right away.
