What is Phenomena Mapping?
Traditional graphic organizers depict common ways to organize information
• Hierarchic
• Compare & Contrast
• Cause/effect
• Sequence
15
Hierarchic pattern
• Depict “whole-to-part”• Don’t confuse with phenomena maps
have no mass
have no electrical charge
can pass throughmost materials; thick
concrete or metal plates can stop
Beta Particles
has a single negative charge identical to an
electron
can pass through paper, but not wood, heavy clothing, or
metal plate
Alpha Particles
2 protons & 2 neutrons bound
together
easily stopped by paper or
person's skinhas a positive charge of 2 emitted from
nucleus of atom at very high speeds
Radioactivity
Gamma Rays
Compare/contrast pattern
• Address similarities & differences• Don’t confuse with phenomena maps
Moves by wind & ocean currents
Icebergs Ice floes
Begin on land as glacier formed from
snowflakesVery slow formation
Take hundreds or thousands of years to form
Bulk is below water
Roll over unexpectedly
Edge: crisp sharp. jagged
May have boulders, rocks & gravel frozen in them
Chunks break off & fall into water
Float in ocean
Made of ice
Different colors
Polar regions
Evaporate & melt
Begin in water
Relatively quick formation
Top of ocean freezes - makes a layer of ice
Breaks apart and refreezes together
Moves by wind only
Edge: usually eroded
Floats on top of water
100% ice

What is important to understand about this?
Building support for your cause using peaceful resistance
Leaders target part of the problem
School integration
Voting rights
Peaceful action targeted at getting media attention
Silent marches
Peaceful sit-ins, singing
Arrest = limp resistance
Speeches
Negative reaction of a few
Police beatingsWater cannon &
Fires (buses & houses)
Verbal abuse
Media influence on public opinion
TV -->world-wide attention
Sympathy for cause
Public's revulsion
Politicians change laws
Peaceful resistance --very powerful way to cause change...let enemies defeat themselves with their own violence

What is Phenomena Mapping?
• Just as there are common organizational structures, there are certain patterns of the way life unfolds
• These patterns can also be depicted visually or graphically, but are different from traditional graphic organizers
15
Common patterns of phenomena include…
• Tension/Reaction• Risk Taking• Problem Solving• Control/Chaos• Data Bending• Double Standard
These patterns tend to be predictable & remain relatively stable, regardless of the genre of content or context in which the phenomena occurs.
15
Consider these topics …
• How King George’s need to pay-off the French and Indian War debt led to destabilization of the American colonies and eventual American Revolutionary War
• The tension created by the need to booster an economy subsequently impacts ecology;
• How changes in seasonal weather patterns triggers changes in the plant life cycle
Each of these topics “unfold” in life following a predictable pattern
If students become familiar with the pattern, it becomes a “lens” through which complex topics can be more easily understood
15
Why use Phenomena Maps? One of the primary emphasis of
content-area learning is examining…
• the occurrence of various events or phenomena
• why these events occur• the influence of these have on subsequent
phenomena• the interactions and interrelationships
among various phenomena
Phenomena maps help students “get it”15
In order to understand a complex phenomena, the learner has to figure the pattern of how it occurs.
