Court Cases, Amendments Modern US History STAAR EOC REVIEW Hexagonal Thinking

Court Cases, Amendments & Acts in Modern US History. There are SO many connections to make! Do you need to review all of these topics? Are you wanting an activity that allows students to make connections and verbalize their thinking? This Hexagonal Thinking activity is perfect.

If you are new to Hexagonal thinking, it is an incredible activity to help students make connections review a topic. The engagement is super high, because students are thinking deeper to make as many connections as possible. (I used this activity for my observation this year and my AP loved it!)

How to play:

• I put students in groups of 4 - each with a set of Hexagons (Different color of card stock for each group)
• After selecting the 1st hexagon to begin, students in the group take turns adding a card to make connections. As they do, they have to verbally explain their connections to their group. Each hexagon can connect up to 6 times!
• After each group is finished, I have them write a summary of connections of one or two parts of the competed activity.

What's included:

• 58 Hexagons covering Amendments, Court Cases and Acts of Modern American History (based on the TEXAS TEKS - 2019)
• Blank Hexagons - you can add your own if you wish
• Detailed instructions for the teacher
