Thinking Hats

Thinking hats are one of Room 9’s thinking tools. On Wednesday 12^th May we used our thinking hats to discuss plastic bags. The first hat we used was black hat. Black hat means we need to think about the bad points. Some of the black hat answers were that the bags would suffocate us, they break easily, are not good for the environment and they don’t decompose. Next we used the yellow hat. This is about the good points. Plastic bags are good to recycle and use again when you go shopping. Then we used our white hat to think about the facts. We found out that plastic bags are made from oil. After that we used our green hat thinking, which is to think outside the box. When we are creative we can make kites out of plastic bags, use them as bike seat covers when your seat is wet and a hair-dyeing apron. We also used blue hat thinking, which is thinking about thinking. With this you should pick them up. The final one was the red hat. With the red hat you use your feelings. We don’t like finding the plastic bags blowing around our environment.

We enjoy using our thinking hats to think about topics.
