  2. What is a graphic organizer? A way of organizing information using visual supports Practicing them in YOUR class can help students with their OTHER classes, too!

  3. 4 Good Graphic Organizers Semantic Maps T-Charts Venn Diagrams (or H-Charts) 4. Content Frames

  4. Semantic Map • Vocabulary development • activating prior knowledge • before reading • before writing • brainstorming before writing • organizing themes for writing

  5. Example of “spider map” “aspects of a person” -

  6. On your mini whiteboard, create a spider map showing characteristics for success in learning English~create it alone – 3 minutes~share it with 2 partners -3 minutes Let’s try one!

  7. Flower semantic map helps organize thinking Writing – how would you complete this? Araucania trees

  8. The “hamburger” graphic organizer – to write a paragraph!

  9. A journalist from Time Magazine summarized world leaders “toppled” in 2011 with a semantic map

  10. Vocabulary Vocabulary cards May include *word’s meaning *synonym *examples in phrases/sentences *translation * part of speech

  11. Two examples of “mind maps” Mind Maps – another kind of semantic map

  12. Beneficiarios del proyecto Alumnos, profesores y comunidad educativa del establecimiento donde se desempeña el voluntario. Alumnos que asisten a los campamentos de inglés, de invierno y verano, organizados por PIAP.

  13. T-Charts • Help students organize information for debates and discussions • Great for looking at different sides of argument, pros and cons

  14. T charts help clarify your goals

  15. Let’s make a T chart: A successful day in your English classroom

  16. A T-chart for teaching goals: My own teaching “to do” list I want to work on these areas I’m strong in these areas

  17. With a partner, make a T chart on this topic: How does reading a book in paper form compare with reading it with an “e-reader,” like kindle?

  18. Venn Diagram Used to compare and contrast two or more ideas or items Helps students speak and write about contrasts

  19. A Venn for two Items

  20. Vowel Sounds in Spanish and English Spanish only “pure” long vowels (no diphthongs) English only /ǽ/ bad /i/ big /aw/ ball /U/ book /e/ bed /ey/ say /ə/ rug /iyr/ear /er/stir /ayr/ fire /eyr/ stair /ər/ Common to both /a/ /ow/ /iy/ /uw/ /oy/ /ou/

  21. Consonant Sounds in Spanish and English Spanish only /x/ gesto /rr/ arroyo English only /sh/ shut /th/ the /Θ/ thin /zh/ measure /z/ zip /v/ very /j/ job Common to both /b/ /s/ /ch/ /d/ /f/ /g/ /k/ /l/ /m/ /n/ /p/ /r/ /t/

  22. Venn from picocool.com“What you become if you take social networking too seriously”found on the Internet….

  23. Your turn to use a Venn! With a partner, compare your hobbies and use of free time on the Venn diagram on the handout

  24. Content Frames (or Semantic Feature Analysis Grid) Can be used by students to rate their own knowledge Great for small group work

  25. Content Frames stimulate small group conversation

  26. Content Frame for self-assessment (left) I understood this! (center) I need a little more practice on this. (right) I need more help in this area.
