Cubing requires students to look at a topic from six different angles such as: Describe It!, Compare It!, Associate It!, Apply It!, Analyze It!, Argue For or Against It!. Teachers often create a visual cube that serves as a starting point when they want students to analyze or consider various aspects of a topic. Cubes can be an after-reading strategy that requires students to think critically about a topic. When students work with cubes, they apply information in new ways. Cubes can be differentiated by interest and readiness.
Adaptations
- Design cubes based on interest or learning profiles.
- Use the cubes as dice which students roll.
- In math, create problems for students to solve. One problem is printed on each side of the cube.
- Create cubes around the Multiple Intelligences
- Incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy.
