1. 7 Secrets of Graphic Organizers  James Lerman Coordinator NJ Consortium for Middle Schools Kean University :: Union, NJ jlerman@kean.edu

3. Getting to the point

4. How do you make a peanut butter sandwich?

5. 1. If you needed to save money in making the sandwich, what are some ways you could do it? 2. If you needed to save time in making the sandwich, what are some ways you could do it? 3. What if you were having a party and had to make 50 peanut butter sandwiches. Would you follow the same process? Why? 4. What if you were in a contest to make the best tasting peanut butter sandwich. Would you follow the same process? Why? 5. Suppose you were running a restaurant and had to decide how much to charge a customer for a peanut butter sandwich. What’s the most effective way to figure this out? 6. What’s the best way to make a peanut butter sandwich?

15. Graphic Organizers A tool Not a crutch

16. Here comes the point!

17. The goal of using graphic organizers is to develop independent use by students. Unless mastery of independent use is achieved, graphic organizers can become a crutch for the student, rather than a tool. The Goal of Graphic Organizers

56. That’s all very nice… But how does it help ME?

57. This is what GOs help learners to do…

58. 1.Plan approaches to a task

59. 2. Organize a sequence of actions or series of data points

60. 1. Plan approaches to a task 2. Organize a sequence of actions or series of data points 3. Hold action sequences in mind until executed

61. 1. Plan approaches to a task 2. Organize a sequence of actions or series of data points 3. Hold action sequences in mind until executed 4. Inhibit actions irrelevant to the task at hand

62. 5.Decide what to attend to and what to do

63. 6.Make shifts when needed

64. 5.Decide what to attend to and what to do 6. Make shifts when needed 7.Monitor and evaluate their own actions

65. 5.Decide what to attend to and what to do 6. Make shifts when needed 7. Monitor and evaluate their own actions 8. Adjust emotions in response to perceived success or failure

66. And to summarize…

71. We’re done! Let’s just do a quick summary…
