A generator to create online 'drag and drop' hexagons [sample]
You can also export your work as a worksheet [sample]
Hexagon learning allows students to identify links between factors very effectively. Students categorise and link factors together for deeper understanding of the relationship between factors. I have written a detailed blogpost about hexagon learning here.

World War One Historiography
"Arrange the historians for a dinner party: no arguments allowed!"
The earliest people migrated from Southern Siberia across the Bering Strait (probable ice bridge) to the Americas.
This land bridge connected Siberia and Alaska during the ice age.
Trans- pacific migration theory
The indigenous people used boats or rafts and travelled across the open pacific ocean from Australia or nearby islands to arrive on the coast of South America.
The Solutrean Hypothesis
The indigenous people came from Europe.
Roughly around 23, 000 to 18000 years ago, ancient humans living in modern- day France and Spain produced a distinctive and elaborate toolkit of stone blades, spear throwers and harpoons that archaeologists call Solutrean.
Coastal migration theory
The first Americans migrated from Northwest Asia along the northern pacific coastline of North America in either rafts or some kind of boat.
