HYIS Non-Linguistic Spring 2009 Part III Statesville Middle School April 22, 2009
“Give students a thought and they’ll learn for a day. TEACH them to think and they will learn for a lifetime.”
Graphic Organizers Combine linguistic (words/phrases) and nonlinguistic (symbols/arrows) to represent relationships
Why?? • Students creating and utilizing graphic organizes causes them to elaborate on knowledge • Students then understand the content to a greater depth • Graphic Organizers also assist with recall of information. • The power lies in students owning the strategy… which graphic organizer fits which type of information
Six Common Patterns of Information Organization from Marzano’s Research Most information can be organized with one of the six common patterns: • Descriptive • Time-sequence • Process/cause-effect • Episode • Generalization/principle patterns • Concept patterns
Thinking Maps Many schools in our district have been trained to teach and utilize “Thinking Maps.” These “Thinking Maps” come from the research that identified the most predominant thinking skills utilized by and required of students as they learn.
Focus for SMS • At the 4.7.09 CASL PD, we did consensograms for each Thinking Map to see which ones, as a staff, we needed to review • The results are: • Circle Map • Double Bubble Map • Tree Map • Multi-Flow Map • Bridge Map Examples of the other 3 types are posted in this PPT as hidden slides at the end. You can easily access them at your convenience from my webpage.

Other Types • There are many other types of generic visual/graphic organizers that you might use but…. • The power of the “Thinking Maps” is having a tool box for students where they understand what they are and how to use them. Hardwiring their brains….
