Thinking Skills and Graphic Organisers

This page will have information about Thinking Skills being used in St. Patrick's School such as De Bono's Thinking Hats, Bloom's Taxonomy, Art Da Costa's Habits of Mind and Gardiner's Seven Intelligences.

These pages can be photocopied onto coloured card and laminated. They can then be strung together and hung up in the classroom somehwere appropriate. You blu-tak a brief outline on paper of particular activities for each level, related to the unit you are doing, onto the laminated cards. You can then dispose of the outlines when you have finished and put up new ones for the next unit. It saves you having to make the whole ladder each time. See photograph.
