K-W-L-H Chart

The K-W-L-H teaching technique is a good method to help students activate prior knowledge It is a group instruction activity developed by Donna Ogle (1986) that serves as a model for active thinking during reading

Spider Map

used to investigate and enumerate various aspects of a single theme or topic, helping the student to organize their thoughts helps the student focus on the topic, requires the student to review what they already know in order to organize that knowledge, and helps the student to monitor their growing comprehension of the topic 11/22/12

also helps point out the areas where the student must investigate more Used to describe a central idea: a thing (a geographic region), process (meiosis), concept (altruism), or proposition with support (experimental drugs should be available to AIDS victims) Key frame questions: What is the central idea? What are its attributes? What are its functions?

Series of Events Chain

help students connectinformation as it occurs over time Key frame questions: What is the object, procedure, or initiating event? What are the stages or steps? How do they lead to one another? What is the final outcome?

Compare/Contrast Matrix

Used to show similarities and differences between two things Key frame question: What things are being compared? How are they similar? How are they different?

effective for organizing events in terms of a chain of action and reaction Used to show the nature of an interaction between persons or groups (Europeans settlers and American Indians) Key frame questions: Who are the persons or groups?

The fishbone diagram identifies many possible causes for an effect or problem used to structure a brainstorming session immediately sorts ideas into useful categories Key frame questions: What are the factors that cause X ? How do they 11/22/12 interrelate? Are the factors that

Cycle Diagrams

shows how items are related to one another in a repeating cycle used to show how a series of events interact to produce a set of results again and again (weather phenomena, cycles of achievement and failure, the life cycle) Key frame questions: What are the critical events in the cycle? How are 11/22/12 related? In what ways are they they
