In this strategy for generating and connecting ideas, the students work in collaborative groups.
They:
- brainstorm everything they know about a given topic (presented as a focus question), such as a text, setting, structure, character, poem, text etc.
- record each idea or thought on a separate blank hexagon.
- arrange the hexagons by tessellating the hexagons.
The outcome differs according to the SOLO level:
- in a multistructural outcome students can justify (talk or annotate) the straight edge connections between simple hexagon sequences;
- in a relational outcome where students have tessellated the hexagons (making connections) students can explain why they had clustered the ideas together in this way.
- in an extended abstract outcome students can explore the node where three hexagons share a corner and make a generalisation about the nature of the relationship between the ideas.
