1. Nonlinguistic Representations Tommy Galletta Justin Henderson Erin Morris Leigh Daley

2. Research on Learners • 18% are auditory learners • 32% are visual learners • 25% are tactile learners • 25% are kinesthetic learners which means that greater than 50% of learners are nonlinguistic

3. Brain Enrichment Variables • Challenge • Novelty • Feedback • Coherence • Time

4. QUESTIONS • What is nonlinguistic representation? • What are the six patterns of nonlinguistic representation? • How do we teach nonlinguistic representation to our students?

5. What is nonlinguistic representation? • It is an imagery mode of representation • The imagery mode is expressed as mental pictures and physical sensations such as smell, taste, touch, kinesthetic association, and sound • A way to raise percentiles by 27 points

6. How to Use Nonlinguistic Representation • Graphic organizers • Make Physical Models • Generate Mental Pictures • Draw Pictures and Pictographs • Engage in Kinesthetic Activity

7. Descriptive Patterns Time-Sequence Patterns Process/Cause-Effect Patterns Episode Patterns Generalization/Principle Patterns Concept Patterns Patterns of nonlinguistic representation

8. Descriptive Patterns • They can be used to represent facts about specific persons, places, things, and events. • The information does not need to be in any particular order.

9. FACT FACT TOPIC FACT FACT FACT

10. Time-Sequence Patterns • Organize events in a specific chronological order

11. Event Event Event Event Event

12. Process/Cause-Effect Patterns • Organize information into a casual network leading to a specific outcome or into a sequence of steps leading to a specific product

13. EFFECT

14. Episode Patterns • Organize information about specific events including: - a setting (time and place) - specific people - specific duration - specific sequence of events - particular cause and effect

15. DURATION PLACE TIME EPISODE EFFECT CAUSE PERSON PERSON PERSON

16. Generalization/Principal Patterns • Organize information into general statements with supporting examples

17. Principle Example Example Example

18. Concept Patterns • The most general of all patterns • Organize information around a word or phrase that represents entire classes or categories of persons, places things, and events

19. Example CHARACTERISTIC CONCEPT CHARACTERISTIC CHARACTERISTIC Example Example Example Example Example Example

20. Make Physical Models • Concrete representation of the knowledge that is being learned • Souvenirs/tokens • 3D models – dioramas • File folder reviews

21. Draw Pictures and Pictographs • Symbolic pictures that represent the knowledge that has been learned • Flip books • Illustrate vocabulary

22. Engage in Kinesthetic Activity • Physical movement associated with knowledge generates a mental image of the knowledge in the mind • Finger plays • Role playing/charades • Elkonin boxes • Hand/body movements
