Teaching Strategies

Jigsawing
Students are divided into groups; each group member is assigned a
section/part of the material selected for study. Each student meets with
the other members of other similar groups who have similar
assignments, forming a new group. This new group learns together and
then plans how to teach this material to members of the original group

Corners

Students are assigned a small group to different corners of the

classroom. They discuss various solutions, perspectives and points of
view concerning a pre-selected issue and decide on a presentation
format.
 Teaching Strategies

Think-pair-share
After reflecting on a topic, students form pairs and discuss, review and
revise their ideas and eventually share them to the class.

Debate

Students organize, planned presentation where each member of the

group takes one of the possible topic viewpoints.

Brainstorming
Students contribute ideas related to a concept or problem-centered
topic. Without initial comment, the instructor accepts all contributions.
After the response list is finalized, students categorize, prioritize and
defend the proposed solution
 Teaching Strategies

Role play/Drama
Students demonstrate comprehension of a story by role-play through
retelling, and using realia, visuals and props. Ex. Readers’ Theatre with a
focus on oral language. Each student is assigned a character or
narrator’s part to practice using correct expression, inflection and
intonation.
 Use of Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers
These are visual frames to represent and organize learning information.
They engage students’ visual intelligence, stretch students thinking skills
and promote active learning. We may use graphic organizers to plan
lessons, units and present information to our students. It transforms your
class into a visual think tank.
 Use of Graphic Organizers

Ideas and activities for Class

1. Presentation On the board or overhead , display a filled in gra[hic
organizer relating to a topic as you teach. Encourage students to use
mind maps and other organizers for visual note-taking and as visual aids
in their own presentation.

2. Cooperative Learning- Graphic organizers are excellent for

cooperative learning. Have students work in pairs or in teams to fill in or
create their organizers. Have students take turns so no single student
does all the work and/ or have each student use a different colored
marker to tell at a glance that everyone is contributing. One favorite
method is to have teams brainstorm ideas, organize them in their own
frame. Then, share and compare their organizers with other teams.

Ideas and activities for Class

3. Reflection and Assessment After an activity, lesson or unit, have
student create graphic organizers to summarize and reflect on what they
learned. Mind maps work especially well for big concepts. Collect
students’ organizers to authentically assess their learning

4. pre-writing- have students fill in an organizer before they write an

essay, story or steps as they prepare a presentation. The graphic
organizers depend on the content. For example, for a compare and
contrast essay, use a venn diagram for writing construction, use a step
chart.
5. Bulletin Board and displays on the bulletin board, post the many
types of graphic organizes, highlight a specific organizer, or display
students’ completed organizers on any topic.

Why Use Graphic Organizers

1. For Memory Graphic organizers facilitate long term retention of
information. Information in organizers is presented in short, easy to
remember visual cues rather than long term cumbersome text. Students
remember more of what they see and draw than what they hear and write.

2. For Brain-based Learning- Our brains process and store information

in uniform fashion. We strive to make sense out of information, and
search for patterns and organization. Graphic organizers promote brain
compatible learning.

3. For higher level thinking G.O. expands many facets of students’

higher level thinking skills including analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating,
relating and developing concepts, categorizing, sequencing and
comparing and contrasting

4. For Comprehension using Graphic Organizers help students
understand the learning material. Students make content connections and
can see how the information is related.

5. For Multiple Intelligence- G.O. strongly engage for intelligence

simultaneously:

A. Verbal linguistic Students select key words and phrases for their
organizers.
B. Logical/Mathematical Organizers often deal with hierarchy,
sequence, part/whole relationships, concept development and cycles- all
logical processess.

Why Use Graphic Organizers

C. Visual/spatial the learning is organized in a visual format.

D. Naturalist- Different G.O’s engage different facts of naturalist

intelligence such as categorizing, classifying, sequencing attention to
attributes, comparing and contrasting.

6. For Language Learning and ESL Information is presented visually

rather than verbally which helps limited English proficient students grasp
basic concepts

Types of Graphic Organizers

1. Venn diagram is used to create a visual analysis of

information that represents similarities and differences
among concepts, peoples and things. Use two or more
overlapping geographical figures (ex. Squares, circles,
rectangles that share an area in common. Students list
the unique characteristics of each concept or object
being compared on the area not being shared with any
other figure and those elements that are common to all
in the common shared area.

2. Consequence Diagrams/Decision
Trees consists of a visual mapping of a
decision making process that shows how
at each point in which a decision is
required. Several possible outcomes can
branch out of each action.

3. Flowcharts assist in presenting

position, role and other relationships
among group elements. Students draw a
representation of a sequential flow of
events, actions, character and or
decisions.

4. Concept Mapping provides students with a

visual figure of how words or phrases connect
to a concept or a topic. The teacher lists the
target topic or concept and builds a web-like
structure (by circling and connecting the
words) of words, phrases and verbs that
students offer as being connected with the
central topic.

5. K-W-L (What I know, What I want to

Know, What I Learn) It draws from the
readers’ background experience of the
topic and provides the reader with
opportunity to reflect on the reading by
asking different questions
