Grade Level or Content Area
Standards
Create a Tree Map (landscape) with a category
for all 8 Thinking Maps.
and Flow
Use the labels to match your standards
with the maps that could be used to
teach the standard.
If more than one map is needed,
write the name of the map below the
standard label.
MAKING THE CONNECTION

Use a highlighter to mark the key word (academic language)
for each standard.
Create a list of key words for each Thinking Map
category.

1. As a team, choose one of the standards on your Tree Map and deconstruct it.
2. Try to think of all of the maps you might need to teach that standard. Use the suggestions identified in Chapter 4 to help you connect the Thinking Maps to your content.
3. If time permits, put the actual content in the maps.
4. Draw the maps on the same sheet with the standards.
DECONSTRUCTING A STANDARD
DECONSTRUCTING A STANDARD
Compares and contrast the motives of characters
in a work of fiction.
Students know how to differentiate among igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks by referring to their
properties and methods of formation (the rock cycle).
DECONSTRUCTING A STANDARD
How do you know what you know?
(Be Specific)
Not just TV, but which shows.
Now add a Frame of Reference to your Circle Map. Where did you get your information? What was influencing your definition? Write the names of anyone you thought about as you developed your definition.
Where did you get your information?
What is the best source for information about this subject?
Read the following article.
Craig Wilson’s “Real heroes: We could all learn something from
them.”
USA Today, November 2003
Now let’s add a Source beyond your Prior Knowledge.
COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY
Count off at your tables
1 – 3.
Write your number on your paper.
1
23
Add a Frame of Reference and identify the “source” of any adjective that you inferred. Your “source” should be textual support.
MAP, MOVE, MAP
Hold the map you have created in your hand and stand up.
Raise your hand, holding up either one, two, or three fingers based on
your assignment.
Locate someone else with the same number and pair with that
person.
Exchange maps and discuss your ideas with each other. “Borrow” ideas from each other and add
them to your own map.
This cooperative learning activity can
be found on page 260.
MAP, MOVE, MAP
Hold the map you have created in your hand and stand up.
Raise your hand, holding up either one, two, or three fingers based on
your assignment.
Locate someone with a different number and pair with that person.
The two of you should sit somewhere and create a Double Bubble Map comparing your two
“heroes.”
This cooperative learning activity can
be found on page 260.
1’s 2’s
Now return to your original table and discuss your
Double Bubble Maps. Focus on the similarities. Add a
Frame of Reference and answer the question “What
conclusions can you draw from the map you made and
the others discussed at your table?”
Finally, as a team create a Circle Map to define what a
hero is. Base your definition on this essay and your
maps.
