Graphic Organizers

Agenda

• History of: – KWLA– Cornell Notes– Venn Diagram

• Application of Graphic Organizers in a lesson

KWLA History

• Know, Want to know, Learned, and Applied

• Format originally created as KWL

• Adding the “A”: gives students opportunity to apply knowledge gained to their own lives

KWL to KWLA

• Developed by Donna Ogle in 1986

• Encourages reading

• Helps determine prior knowledge

• Helps develop questions of interest

KWLA

• Activates higher learning

• Helps construct meaning to reading assignment

• Keeps track of progress

• Enhances comprehension

History of Cornell Notes

• Created by Walter Pauk - Designed in response to poor test scores- Meant to be used as a study guide

• Rates of retention loss:- 20 minutes = 47% forgotten- 1 day = 62% forgotten- 2 days = 69% forgotten- 75 days = 75% forgotten- 78 days = 78% forgotten

Cornell Note Format

• Three sections– Left column: cue, main

ideas, headlines and questions

– Right column: information and

note taking– Bottom section:

Summary

Cornell Note Six Step Method

1. Record: facts, key words, main points

2. Reduce: important facts, create questions

3. Recite: students recite out loud

and in their own words the facts

and ideas they want to learn

.

Cornell Note Six Step Method

4. Reflect: relates facts and ideas to things already known

5. Review: the notes as often aspossible

6. Recap: the information gainedduring the lecture in a summary

History of the Venn Diagram

• Introduced by John Venn

• Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Leonard Euler

• Venn formalized and generalized usage in education

Venn Diagram

• Overlapping circles show possible relationships

• Diagram used over a

hundred years

Applying Graphic Organizers in a Lesson

• Topic: Earthquakes

• Course: Earth and Space Science

• Audience: Eighth grade students

Applying Graphic Organizers in a Lesson

• Hawaii Content and Performance Standards III (HCPS III): Standard 8

• Benchmark: SC.ES.8.5: Explain the effects of movements of crustal plates

• Length: Three (3) days

Earthquake Lesson Day 1

• Earthquake Lesson begins with– Video clips– Questions

• Introduce KWLA – Students write down what they Know about

Earthquakes

An earthquake is a vibration of the Earth’s surface

______________

Earthquakes can cause tsunamis

______________

Earthquake Lesson Day 1

• Students form 4 groups

• Each group is required to read and master their topic:

– History of Earthquakes: results and effects– Plate tectonics– Volcanoes and Earthquakes– Scientific Instruments

Earthquake Lesson Day 1

• During assigned reading students are to use Cornell Notes for understanding

• Homework:– Complete “W” What I want to know about

earthquakes – Research (use Cornell Notes)– Write a short report for peer teaching

Cornell Notes Organizer

1. Why do earthquakes happen?

Earthquakes happen because of

a sudden release of stored

energy in the crust of the earth

2. Where do earthquakes happen?

Earthquakes can happen

wherever there are fault lines or

volcanoes

Earthquake Lesson Day 2

• Share research with peers (other groups)

• Read articles on 2006 Hawaii earthquake

and a major world earthquake

• Homework:– Use Cornell Notes for each earthquake– Use Venn Diagram to compare/contrast the

two earthquakes

Venn Diagram

Earthquake Lesson Day 3

• Present and share Venn Diagram

• Form 3 main points or conclusions

• Homework:– Complete the KWLA Organizer for

• What I Learned• How I can Apply what I’ve Learned

Earthquake Lesson Recap

• For our lesson on earthquakes we used 3 Graphic Organizers

– KWLA• Test prior knowledge and

application of lesson– Cornell Notes

• Organization and Study Guide– Venn Diagram

• Compare lesson topics

This concludes our presentation.Any questions?
