MAXIMIZE LEARNING WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS SUPPORT INSTRUCTIONAL PRINCIPLES (The big ideas)

• Identify big ideas (enduring understandings) to be taught. • Understand the type of thinking required to process a principle. • Select organizers that promote that type of thinking.

TEACH DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE SKILLS

• Progress from simple to complex thought processes. • Progress from concrete to complex abstract input for organizers. • Progress toward individual competence in use of organizers. • Preclude use of organizers with needed readiness activities. • Model progressive development of language to support the thought processes.

PLAN FOR ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF ALL LEARNERS

• Provide structure for class, team, pair, and individual activities. • Provide success and challenge opportunities for multilevel student populations. • Employ strategies to raise the thinking level.

BENEFITS OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER LEVEL THOUGHT

• Graphic organizers often incorporate higher-level thinking. • Users must evaluate input and select only the most essential information since there

is generally not enough room to copy directly from a source. • Metacognitive development occurs as students explain their own thought processes

and are exposed to the strategies and thinking of others. • The format often encourages students to expand beyond the source(s): to access

prior knowledge, to predict and question, to investigate further. • Because students are often thinking at a higher level, they can more readily identify:

ambiguities, the need for clarification, and information that is missing.

APPLICABILITY FOR A WIDE RANGE OF LEARNERS

• Students with very diverse levels can often collaborate meaningfully on a graphic organizer.

• More advanced learners are often challenged by graphic organizers because the format gives them an opportunity to incorporate prior knowledge and real-world applications.

• Students who did not initially know the information at the comprehension level often have the opportunity to demonstrate their intelligence when higher-order thinking is required to complete the organizer.

• Students with low literacy skills, limited fluency in the language of instruction, and those with diverse learning styles can often process information presented in this format more readily than they can traditional text material.

• Organizers are often easily modified for special needs students and English language learners.

INCREASED LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

• Higher-level thinking prompts more use of language. • Students can be provided guidance in the related language of thought. • New content vocabulary is clearly presented on the organizer. • Students must incorporate their own words when summarizing the information

presented on an organizer. GREATER RETENTION FOR ALL LEARNERS

• People retain: 10% of what they read 20% of what they hear 30% of what they see 50% of what they see and hear 70% of what they say 90% of what they say as they do or teach something. (E.Dale)

When students collaborate on a graphic organizer, they are saying, doing and teaching each other. • They are also changing written or oral input to visual input that is meaningful to them. • People retain information more readily when they are processing it at higher levels of

thought. (Examples: Students are categorizing words rather than memorizing them. Students are often reading and listening at the analytical level rather than at the comprehension level.)

• The visual presentation of any organizer reflects the relationship of the concepts, promoting greater retention for most learners.

• It is more beneficial, and more fun, to study from notes on organizers than from traditional notes.

MORE EQUITABLE ASSESSMENT MEASURES

• After using an organizer for instructional purposes, they are often very effective for assessment purposes.

• Many students, who have trouble accurately reflecting their learning on traditional forced-choice tests, can often perform well on alternative assessment measures that include graphic organizers.

• The conceptual and strategic essence of a lesson is more evident to students who study from graphic organizers.

• It is easier to make modifications for special needs students with graphic organizers used for assessment purposes than it is to modify a traditional exam.

PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN USE OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

PROGRESSION FROM THE MOST

CONCRETE TO THE MOST COMPLEX APPLICATIONS

PROGRESSION TOWARD PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING AND INDEPENDENT

USE

Simplest to Most Challenging:

• Concrete objects

• Pictures

• Labels for pictures

• Single familiar words

• Familiar words and phrases

• Familiar life application

• Below grade level text with: o questions or other prompts o no prompts o use of multiple sources

• Grade appropriate text with:

o questions or other prompts o no prompts o use of multiple sources

• Challenging life application

As students progress from the concrete to the abstract, in their use of any graphic organizer, they will also progress toward individual competence. See the next column.

Simplest to Most Challenging

• Be exposed to the graphic organizer.

• Discuss purpose based on

examples.

• Follow directions to complete.

• Interpret the information on an organizer.

• Suggest categories for an

organizer.

• Select appropriate organizers for tasks: Choose from 2 dissimilar options

• Choose from multiple dissimilar options

• Choose best from similar options

• Invent an organizer to meet a purpose.

To support the progression from the simplest to most challenging applications the instructional sequence would also reflect a progression from class modeling to individual applications:

• Contribute to class example. • Collaborate with group or

partner. • Use independently.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DIFFERENTIATION WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

• If all students do not have literacy skills but have a wide range of oral proficiency, use the same organizer and visuals but differentiate directions for oral language or vocabulary specificity.

• Differentiate the oral language focus during development and provide diverse follow-up

writing activities.

• Use the same organizer for all students but include visuals and/or resource materials with different readability levels.

• Use simple and more complex versions of organizers that meet a similar purpose: identifying

attributes, categorizing information, sequencing events, identifying cause and effect, solving problems, analyzing a story, comparing and contrasting, evaluating, and so forth.

• Have some students complete an organizer with the teacher, others in teams or with a

partner, some independently.

• In programs where it would be possible and appropriate, students complete the organizer in either their home language or a new language, whichever would provide both success and challenge opportunities.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

1. The organizer is used to convey content but is not based on big ideas.

• Students use the organizer in ways that do not reflect what is most essential to know about the topic.

• Organizational problems result that impede thinking. • It is difficult to use such organizers as strategic preparation for writing, research, or

speaking tasks. • Information gaps in the materials used to complete the organizers are not evident.

2. The organizer does not promote the thinking required to understand the important big

ideas. • The organizer doesn’t match the big idea. Examples include: a sequence of events

when a cycle is needed, a simple web when a Venn diagram or comparison matrix is needed, a timeline to express multiple causes for one event rather than a fishbone.

• The organizer is so similar to the presentation of the materials that students can complete the organizer without understanding the ideas.

• The organizer is functional, but a different one, still developmentally appropriate, would evoke more thought.

3. The organizer is not developmentally appropriate for the range of learners.

• The organizer is cognitively either too simple or too complex. • The organizer does not match the motor skills of the students, for example, too small

for emergent writers. • The organizer is not used in a meaningful context where students have either prior

knowledge or comprehensible access to the content and vocabulary. • The readability level needed to complete the organizer is either too difficult or not

challenging, and no developmentally appropriate alternative resources are provided.

4

Page 5: MAXIMIZE LEARNING WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS - …Graphic+Oranizers... · MAXIMIZE LEARNING WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS SUPPORT INSTRUCTIONAL PRINCIPLES ... a simple web when a Venn diagram

• While developmentally appropriate for some students, no alternative organizers that meet the same purpose are provided for students who would benefit from a simpler or more complex version. Some students may benefit from a completely different organizer that focuses on simpler or more challenging related ideas.

• Some students will finish before others, and no challenge option is included in the assignment. Challenge examples include: rank the items on a web diagram based on some aspect of comparison, rank some aspects of comparison on a comparison matrix, complete a challenge option on an organizer, use more complex resources to add additional information to the organizer, use sentence prompts related to the thought process reflected on the organizer to express the important relationships, illustrate or draw symbols for the most important vocabulary or information, and prepare to role-play important relationships on the organizer. It is important that students who try the challenge have opportunities to share those tasks with the class.

4. There is not enough modeling prior to the degree of student accountability required.

• Class modeling does not precede team or partner use; and/or team or partner use does not precede individual use.

• Modeling does not include how to interpret completed organizers prior to independent use of them. Reading or interpreting completed organizers helps students understand the thought processes for creating them.

• Cooperative structures for asking questions are not used during class modeling, so some students, unfortunately often those who most need the guidance, are not actively engaged.

• Not enough structure is provided for individual accountability during team or partner use; consequently, the lowest performing students are often less involved during the guided practice that is so critical for them.

• Students do not get enough varied experiences with a graphic organizer, preferably across disciplines, prior to individual accountability for applications not modeled.

5. There are problems with the format of the organizer.

• The organizer is in a pictorial format that impedes rather than helps comprehension. • The writing space is either too small for the information needed, or too much space is

provided and students can just copy text rather than selecting the most important information.

• Students are asked to make their own organizers which may result in: too much educational time required for the task, ineffective use of the space provided, or sloppy organizers that impede learning (usually made by the student with the poorest fine motor skills who is the most dependent on a neat organizer).

6. Inadequate support is provided to express the information and relationships

conveyed on the organizer as well as retain and expand on the learning. • Students complete a graphic organizer, but no follow-up discussion and/or reading

and writing tasks are given. A common example is having students complete a comparison matrix without ever orally discussing or writing about the comparisons.

• Once the organizer is complete, students may be assigned follow-up tasks without adequate modeling. Modeling examples include: oral and written language prompts to express the thought processes reflected by the organizer as well as examples of how people use organizers to prepare for oral presentations and write related sentences, paragraphs, or longer written forms.

5

Page 6: MAXIMIZE LEARNING WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS - …Graphic+Oranizers... · MAXIMIZE LEARNING WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS SUPPORT INSTRUCTIONAL PRINCIPLES ... a simple web when a Venn diagram

• There is insufficient review and expansion related to the vocabulary and ideas to aide retention.

• Students receive minimal guidance in how to use the organizers to prepare for tests. • Students are not exposed to ways the organizer is used outside of the classroom.

7. There are management problems during use of the organizer in class.

• Student expectations are not clearly communicated, and a pattern for orderly behavior and respect for each other and the learning process has not been established.

• Directions are not clearly communicated. Of course, confusion is less of a problem with adequate modeling.

• The grouping arrangements do not maximize learning opportunities. i. Too many students are expected to use one organizer. This is particularly

problematic if four or more students are collaborating on the same sections of an organizer requiring all students to read or write the same text.

ii. The academic or proficiency levels of the partners/team members are not the most effective given the student population and the assigned task. For example, pairing of a very top student with a student who needs a great deal of support may result in tutoring rather than cooperative learning. Language proficiency is also a variable. A student with limited language proficiency needed for a task, may benefit from native language support, while a student with more language skills may benefit from working with a partner in the new language. Two timid students may benefit from working with each other, and so forth.

• Class time is not used wisely. Examples include: giving directions and distributing materials takes too long, there is too little time or too much time to do the task, or students are not told how much time they will have.

• Students are not on task during class, team, partner or individual use. These are less of a problem if:

i. cooperative structures are used to ask questions during class modeling, ii. individual accountability is clearly defined in team and partner tasks, iii. the tasks are developmentally appropriate for the range of learners, iv. there are challenge options for those who finish early, and v. the students who have time for the challenge are accountable to classmates

rather than the teacher

21 SUGGESTIONS FOR RAISING THE THINKING LEVEL WHEN USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

1. Use organizers that match a big idea and write the idea on the organizer. 2. When more than one organize is appropriate, choose the one that evokes the most

thought (or) give a simpler one for homework or individual work and a more complex one for team follow-up discussion (or) use organizers that meet the same purpose with different levels of complexity for the range of learners.

3. Use differentiation strategies suggested above. HAVE STUDENTS DO THE FOLLOWING KINDS OF TASKS: 4. Write a statement expressing the essence of the information on an organizer (if the big

idea is not provided by the instructor on the organizer). 5. Highlight the most important words on an organizer. 6. Draw symbols for confusing terms or the most important information. 7. Color-code information on an organizer and make a key. 8. Given a limited number of options on an organizer, select the most important information

to include. 9. Rank the information on an organizer from the most to the least of a specified aspect. 10. Evaluate information as being positive, negative, or neutral. 11. Repeat ranking (or) positive/negative/neutral evaluations from a different perspective.

Use the information on a simple graphic organizer as a springboard for completing a more complex one.

12. Use the reading strategy of Connect Two (PU) to identify and explain connections among key terms on an organizer.

13. Use sentence prompts to demonstrate sentence variety when expressing similar ideas or relationships on an organizer.

14. Following a Word Sort (PU) record the terms used in the sort onto an organizer. Add any needed terms.

15. Complete a section of an organizer or answer related questions that require drawing inferences, activating prior knowledge, and/or making predictions.

16. Create a role-play to represent information on an organizer. 17. Given a completed organizer prior to reading, discuss and predict textual information. 18. Given information for a blank organizer, predict placement on the organizer, read (or

listen to a lecture) to check predictions and make corrections. 19. Given a task, select the most appropriate organizer from options and support the choice

by explaining your rationale. 20. Design your own organizer to effectively represent information. 21. Compare your organizer with that of others and collaborate to evaluate the effectiveness

of each.

TEN POINT CHECKLIST OF QUESTIONS WHEN USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

1. Does the organizer have a strong educational purpose? Does it promote attainment

of school outcomes?

2. Does the organizer chosen match the thinking required for the big idea(s) being taught?

3. Would an alternative organizer promote more thought?

4. Do the students have the experiential and conceptual readiness required for the

organizer?

5. Is the organizer at the appropriate level in the progressive development of needed skills?

6. Are there ways to increase thought with the organizer selected?

7. Will students collaborate on the organizer? If so, ask the following:

• How will you structure involvement of all learners? • How will you increase language during the interaction?

• Do you need a social skill focus? • What is the challenge activity for students who finish before others?

8. Is the organizer appropriate for a heterogeneous group of students, or can it be

easily modified to include a wide range of learners?

9. How will students summarize, orally and/or in written form, the information presented on the organizer? Do they have the language needed to effectively communicate the information? If not, how will you teach the language for the thought processes reflected on the organizer?

10. Would the organizer be an effective alternative form of assessment? If so, how

will it be used?

POWER OF THE PEOPLE AT THE STATE LEVEL ISSUES RELATED TO REFERENDUMS, INITIATIVES, AND RECALL

DIRECTIONS PART I: Following a class discussion of the examples, look at the labels for the different referendums, initiatives and recall. Based on your shared understanding of some of the vocabulary, collaborate with your team to predict the labels for each of the examples. Later you will check predictions and revise during reading.

Petition referendum Initiative Optional referendum Recall Compulsory referendum

1. Legislators may consider changing a law, but it is a controversial issue, and they don’t want to make the decision.

• Legislators want the people to help decide whether to change the death

penalty or not. • Legislators want to outlaw bilingual education, but they don’t want to lose

the ethnic votes. • Legislators want to change the gun laws, but they don’t want to lose

campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association. What could legislators do? _______________________________

2. Legislators pass a law some people don’t like.

• They change the driving age from 16 to 18. • They change a gun law. What action could people take if they didn’t like the new law? ________________________________

3. What if an elected official commits a crime and other elected officials don’t

take any action to remove him or her?

• An official is accused of giving state contracts to friends. • An official uses state funds for personal use. • An official gives state licenses to people who pay brides. What can the people do?

4. What if the legislature wants to change the state constitution?

• They want to change the governor’s unlimited terms of office to only two terms?

• They want to eliminate the death penalty? What do they have to do before the constitution is amended? ______________________________

5. What if people want to create a new law?

• They want a law requiring children in the back seat of cars. • They want a law to make English the official language of Illinois. • They want to outlaw bilingual education in Illinois. • They want to legalize gambling. • They want to change the speed limit. What action could they take? ______________________________

DIRECTIONS PART 2: Follow the directions on the matrix provided to compare and contrast the referendum, initiatives and recall.

Appeasement

Interaction Frame

Group #1’s Needs/Goals:

England & France are in a depression. They are tired of war. They don’t want to fight Germany.

Group #2’s Needs/Goals:

Germany wants to control Europe. It doesn’t want interference from England & France for as long as possible.

Interactions

Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, Edouard Daladie, the French head of government met with Hitler in Munich, Germany in September 1935. They agreed to let Germany take the Sudeterland, the western part of Czechoslavakia. Mussolini, the dictator of Italy was at the meeting to support Hitler. Hitler promised there would be no war and that he would not take any more land. Czechoslovakia wasn’t represented at the meeting.

Outcomes

The agreement, called an appeasement, let France & England think they could have peace in their lifetime. Hitler tricked them.

Germany took the Sudeterland. Hitler broke his promise and took all of Czechoslavakia. Hitler then continued his campaign to control Europe.

• Historical problems are related to either the rights of people or economics.

• People try to solve problems with predictable responses: accommodate, dominate, move, invent or tolerate.

• The effects of attempts to solve problems result in predictable effects: solution of the problem, continuation of the problem or creation of a new problem.

NAME DATE

THE AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF JAPAN

the Japanese people freedom of speech, freedom ofWhen World War II ended, Japan was a deftatedcountry. Two of its cities had been desiwd by atomicbombs. Most ofJapan ‘sfactories, fizrins, and businesseswere in ruins. An American army commanded byGenemi Dosglas MacArthur now occupied and ruledJapan. In this readitg you will learn how the Japaneserebuilt their nation after the war

In September 1945, after Japan had surrendered,the United States took control of that nation. Aforce of 40,000 American troops occupied Japan.These troops were led by General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur became Allied military commander in Japan. From his headquarters in Tokyo,he ruled the Japanese people for the next few years.

The United States had two main goals in Japan.It wanted to help the Japanese rebuild their nation. It also wanted to make sure Japan would notregain its military power. Under MacArthur’sstrong leadership, both these goals were reached.Japan had to give up all the land it had conqueredin Asia and the Pacific. The leaders who had carriedout Japan’s conquests were tried for war crimes.Several of those who were found guilty were executed. Others were put in prison. The Japanesearmy and navy were disbanded, and Japan was notallowed to have strong armed forces. Japan alsopledged it would never again start a war.

In 1947, the United States set up a new constitution for Japan to make the nation more democratic. The emperor no longer had importantpowers. Instead, he became only a symbol of thenation. The Diet, elected by the people, now wasthe center of Japan’s government. The Diet wasthe nation’s chief lawmaking body. The primeminister, who headed the government, was electedby members of the Diet. Control of the government by army generals was ended. Now new political parties were free to run candidates for electionto the Diet. The 1947 constitution also guaranteed

religion, and freedom of the press.During the occupation, Americans brought

about many changes and reforms in Japanese life.The large estates owned by wealthy Japanese landlords were broken up. Much of this land was thengiven to small farmers. The huge and powerfulbusinesses that controlled many Japanese industries were broken up. Workers were allowed toform labor unions. At the same time, the UnitedStates provided aid to help Japan rebuild its factories and farms. The Japanese people seemed towelcome these changes. Within a few ‘ears, Japan’seconomy had recovered from the terrible destruction of World War II.

By 1951, the United States was ready to end itsoccupation of Japan. In September of that year, theUnited States signed a peace treaty with Japan.Japan now regained its power as an independentnation. However, since Japan’s constitution didnot allow it to have strong armed forces, the twonations also signed a military treaty. The UnitedStates agreed to defend the Japanese if the’ wereattacked by any nation. As a result, Japan soonbecame an important ally of the United States.During the 1950s, Japan would again become oneof the strongest nations in Asia.

On the back of this sheet of paper or on anothersheet, answer the following questions about theselection you have just read.

1. How did the United States try to make surethat Japan would not become a military nationagain?

2. How did the United States work to make Japanmore democratic?

3. Imagine you were a Japanese reporter watchingthe signing of the peace treaty in September 1951.Describe what you think were the main results ofthe American occupation of Japan.

SAMPLE: MULTILEVEL READINGS FOR WORD SORT Pre-reading: partners do the word sort together. During reading: partners each read a passage. One is easier. NOTE: Some unique information is contained in each reading; therefore partners would need each other to complete the “during reading” portion of the word sort. Post-reading: Students in teams use the cooperative structure of Numbered-heads-together to answer related questions.
