HYIS Non-Linguistic Spring 2009 Part III Statesville Middle School April 22, 2009

“Give students a thought and they’ll learn for a day. TEACH them to think and they will learn for a lifetime.”

Graphic Organizers Combine linguistic (words/phrases) and nonlinguistic (symbols/arrows) to represent relationships

Why?? Students creating and utilizing graphic organizes causes them to elaborate on knowledge Students creating and utilizing graphic organizes causes them to elaborate on knowledge Students then understand the content to a greater depth Students then understand the content to a greater depth Graphic Organizers also assist with recall of information.

The power lies in students owning the strategy… which graphic organizer fits which type of information The power lies in students owning the strategy… which graphic organizer fits which type of information

Six Common Patterns of Information Organization from Marzano’s Research Most information can be organized with one of the six common patterns: Descriptive Descriptive Time-sequence Time-sequence Process/cause-effect Process/cause-effect Episode Episode Generalization/principle patterns Generalization/principle patterns Concept patterns Concept patterns

Thinking Maps Many schools in our district have been trained to teach and utilize “Thinking Maps.” These “Thinking Maps” come from the research that identified the most predominant thinking skills utilized by and required of students as they learn.

Focus for SMS At the CASL PD, we did consensograms for each Thinking Map to see which ones, as a staff, we needed to review At the CASL PD, we did consensograms for each Thinking Map to see which ones, as a staff, we needed to review The results are: The results are: Circle Map Circle Map Double Bubble Map Double Bubble Map Tree Map Tree Map Multi-Flow Map Multi-Flow Map Bridge Map Bridge Map Examples of the other 3 types are posted in this PPT as hidden slides at the end.
