Fill in all the blank hexagons with indirect impactsusing the word bank. Some tips:•Each touching hexagon should be connected in some way: cause and effect, similarities, or even ideas that contrast with one another. •There is no “right” answer, as long as you can explain the connection. •There are more concepts in the word bank than there are blank hexagons, so you’ll have some left over.
