(The teacher reads the tale)

Now class, I will group you into 6 and in order for you to be
grouped into six kindly look under your armchairs and get the
piece of colored paper attached to it.

As you can see, those are hats with different colors and
whatever color is your hat will be your group for our
activities for the whole period. Proceed now to your group
mates.

Each group must have a leader and a secretary. Each group

must analyze and interpret the story using the different
thinking hats.

Each thinking hat calls for different dimensions of thinking

(red-feelings, white-facts, yellow- values, black-caution,

thinking, there are cue phrases to use.

(In the discussion of the story, the learners will be 5 minutes

based on the hat that they wear. After which, a group
representative will share to the class what they talked about.)
