Adjunct Displays Brad Greenway

What are adjunct displays? • The “stuff” that appears outside of the text, such as pictures, geographic and concept maps, graphs, diagrams, and more • An effective display reflects the structure of the actual information it is displaying • Studies have shown that these graphic organizers should be blank or partially completed; NOT completed when given to the student • They are NOT worksheets

Examples • • • Concept maps Cycle map Flow diagrams Matrix Pyramid of hierarchy Vin

Why use them? • Evidence suggests that these “displays of information” actually promote recall of the text for the reader • Two effective types of learning – Verbal (the text) – Spatial (placement of information in relation to other facts)
