AUGUST 22 ND - GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS AND FOLDABLES

What are Strategies? • Techniques or tools that students use to process information that can be applied to any learning situation and that engage students in the learning process.

What are Structures? • Ways that a teacher organizes the classroom to maximize student engagement and interaction for the purpose of enhancing learning.

70% of input to the human brain is VISUAL!

Graphic Organizers • Students learn using both linguistic and non-linguistic modes to make relationships visible. • Graphic organizers combine the linguistic mode that they use words and pictures and the non-linguistic mode that they use symbols and relationships. (Marzano, 2001)

Why use Graphic Organizers? • Across 129 studies in which teachers used nonlinguistic strategies—such as graphic organizers, sketches, and pictographs—with one class but not with another class studying the same content, the average effect was a 17 percentile point gain in student achievement. (Haystead & Marzano, 2009).

Graphic Organizers • There are common patterns that correlate to the cognitive rigor of our state standards. • Descriptive patterns • Time-Sequence patterns • Cause and Effect patterns • Episode patterns • Generalization/Principle patterns • Concept patterns (Marzano, 2001)

Descriptive Patterns Used to describe facts about specific places, persons, events, and things in no particular order. Fact Person Fact

K. 8 B – Describe characters in a story and the reasons for their actions. P. 4 B - Describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and acceleration.

Time-Sequence Patterns • Time sequence patterns organize events in specific chronological order. •

Process/Cause-Effect Patterns • Process/cause-effect patterns organize information into a casual network leading to a specific outcome or into a sequence of steps leading to a specific product. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Process/Cause and Effect Patterns • 6. 6 A – Describe and explain the effects of physical environmental processes such as erosion, ocean currents, and earthquakes on the Earth’s surface. Earthquakes • • Erosion • •

Episode Patterns • Organize information about specific events including, setting (time and place), specific people, a specific duration, a specific sequence of events, and a particular cause and effect. • Episode Cause Person Effect Person

Generalization/Principle Patterns • Generalization/principle patterns organize information into general statements with supporting examples. Generalization: Principle Example

Concept Patterns • Concept patterns organize information around a word or phrase that represents entire classes or categories of persons, places, things, and events. The characteristics of each should be included in this pattern. Fiction Types of Fiction Not True Historical Science Fiction Realistic Has a plot

Research suggests best practices for instruction with graphic organizers. • Foster cooperative learning • Encourage students to work in small teams when they are constructing non-linguistic representations • Refine thinking through questions and discussions

Stand. Up–Hand. Up–Pair. Up 1 2 Teacher says, “When I say go, you will stand up, hand up, and pair up. ” Teacher pauses, then says, “Go!” Students stand up and keep one hand high in the air until they find a partner with a hand raised. Students do a “high five” and put their hands down. 3 Teacher asks a question or gives an assignment, then provides think time. 4 Partners interact using a Timed Pair Share. Spencer Kagan, 2011

Do I take a grade on a graphic organizer? • You have 5 minutes to talk to your table about the following questions: • How could you use graphic organizers as formative assessments (assessments for learning) or summative assessments (assessments of learning)? • Would you take a grade on the graphic organizers? Is it always necessary to grade the graphic organizers?

Break – 15 minutes

What is a Foldable? • 3 dimensional interactive graphic organizer that students create • Can be used as a self check study guide • Can be used at any level and with any subject area • Learning/Assessment tools

Foldables can…. • focus on text structure • visually represent relationships in text • provide well-organized summaries of text (Put Reading First: The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read) • Engage students in the instructional process and learning (Marzano, 2001)

Let’s focus on the classroom!

Kindergarten • K. 8 A – Retell a main event from a story read aloud. • K. 9 A - identify authority figures in the school. • K. 4 – Model and create addition and subtraction problems in real situations with concrete objects • K. 5 A - Observe and record properties of objects, including relative size and mass, such as bigger or smaller and heavier or lighter, shape, color, and texture

1 st Grade • 1. 9 A – Describe the plot (problem and solution) and retell a story’s beginning, middle, and end with attention to the sequence of events • 1. 3 A – Model and create addition and subtraction problems with concrete objects and write corresponding number sentences • 1. 13 C - Identify other individuals who exemplify good citizenship • 1. 5 B - Predict and identify changes in materials caused by heating and cooling such as ice melting, water freezing, and water evaporating

2 nd Grade • 2. 9 A – Describe similarities and differences in the plots and settings of several works by the same author. • 2. 2 B - Apply vocabulary related to chronology, including past, present, and future. • 2. 3 A – Recall and apply basic addition and subtraction facts • 2. 5 C - Demonstrate that things can be done to materials to change their physical properties such as cutting, folding, sanding, and melting

3 rd Grade • 3. 8 A – Sequence and summarize the plot’s main events and explain their influence on future events. • 3. 3 A – Model addition and subtraction using pictures, words, and numbers • 3. 9 A - Describe the basic structure of government in the local community, state, and nation • 3. 5 A - Measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float
