Lesson Design:
- If your students are new to hexagonal thinking, introduce the activity with the explanation from the Cult of Pedagogy Post.
- Emphasize to students that the purpose of this activity is for them to see ways in which these concepts connect with each other.
- Provide groups of 4-5 students with their hexagons and give them a set amount of time to collaborate and arrange them as they think is best.
- To culminate this activity, have each student individually and independently explain 3 to 5 of their connections on the “SDG Hexagonal Thinking” handout (see models on the Cult of Pedagogy Post).
