Improves content learning as it develops effective learning strategies Organizing Thinking lessons integrate content instruction, critical thinking, and graphic organizers to help students simplify, understand, and remember information, develop deeper learning connections, organize and manage their own thinking and learning. Each lesson clearly identifies the content objective and thinking process being taught. Students are provided with content material and a blank organizer for depicting relevant information. Lesson plans include techniques for using graphic organizers; discussion activities that explain, model, or extend lessons; and a summary of inferences, interpretations, or conclusions which result from discussion. Grades 5-8.
This is the best book for graphic organizers I have seen, and I have several. The first chapter provides blackline master graphs with instructions for using each one. The remaining chapters show the graphic organizers being utilized in specific lessons for the content areas. Completed examples are also provided. This book helped me understand graphic organizers so well that I now create my own graphic organizers customized for a particular lesson or reading assignment.
