Creative & Critical Thinking-The Hare and The Tortoise

Using the 6 Thinking Hats I developed the following questions for the tortoise and the hare...

White Hat-How long was the race in feet, miles, and meters? How was the course selected? What were the weather conditions during the race?

Red Hat- Tortoise at the beginning of the race did you have any idea that you would beat the hare? Do you believe that you "out-smarted" or "out performed" the Hare? What lesson did you learn from losing to the Tortoise?

Black Hat-What advice would you give to other Hares and/or Tortoises? How would you approach this same situation now?

Yellow Hat-Hare, what good can you find in your loss to Tortoise? Hare were you able to demonstrate good sportsmanship after losing?

Green Hat- Would the outcome of the race be different had it been a triathlon? If Hare didn't talk during the race would he had won? Was it the head start or the BIG head that lead to Tortoise being the winner?

Blue Hat-Describe what went wrong or right for each other. What would you say is the most valuable lesson learned from this experience?
