Blog Post --- Graphic Organizers
For the past two days the students in my social studies class have been using graphic organizers along with a power point and lecture. They’re finishing up a unit on the industrial revolution and getting ready to give presentations on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll start my unit on Wednesday. Anyway, the teacher I’m working with gave the kids questions to answer, that followed along with the power point and then at the end of each day’s lesson, had the kids do a graphic organizer.
Yesterday they did a brainstorming type graphic organizer. The teacher called it a spider and instead of just brainstorming information they used came from the power point.
The type of graphic organizer that he used today was a cause and effect chart. The teacher gave the effect and the students had to determine 4 causes.
I start my unit on conflict next week on Wednesday and I plan to use several of Marzano’s strategies, like: graphic organizers, homework (just a little), feedback, and reinforcement; just to name a few.
