I really think this is brilliant. It's very hard to get children to think about thinking, and this is the answer. A great lesson in how to use the grey cells, with colour.
Thanks.

I liked this talk so much that I ordered Edward de Bono, 'Six Thinking Hats' from Amazon. My goodness what waffle!
As Kim Wells says, the beauty of this approach is in its simplicity. That's why it should suit all sorts of learners too. But the 200 pages on the type of language etc. to be used alongside the hats? No thank you..
