Six Sides of Cubing
Handout
The following are the six sides of the cube. These sides are defined to help you
understand exactly what you will be writing about for the teacher.
- Describe
it-consider/visualize the subject in detail and describe what you
see-colors, shapes, sizes, memories, etc.
- Compare
it-to what is it similar? From
what is it different?
- Associate
it-What does it make you think of?
You might associate it with similar things, or you can think of
different things, times, places, people, etc. Just let your mind go and see what associations you have for
this subject.
- Analyze
it-Tell how it is made or how it functions. If you do not know, make it up!
- Apply
it- Tell what you can do with it.
How can it be used?
- Argue
for or against it-Go ahead and take a stand. Be sure that you substantiate your stand with reasons-any
findings, rational, silly or anywhere in between. Maybe you would like to examine your
own understandings of it.
