NEW Frayer Model
I want desperately to post about my ISN's which are going smashingly with both my 6th graders and my 7th graders! But I do not have pictures or anything yet....I will get on that ASAP. BUT. I want to share today about my Frayer Model dilemma and solution. I love FM's. They rock my vocabulary world. What I did not love was the "non example" section. Often I could think of a non example but had a hard time verbalizing it to students. OR if I let them come up with a "non example" they almost always had a miss conception about the word. So I changed it to PROVE IT/DRAW IT. This has worked SO MUCH BETTER than it did last year. It really helps my kiddos who are struggling with the abstract thoughts and put's it very concretely, pictorially and allows them that kinesthetic avenue of modeling and drawing it out. SO I wanted to share it with you. Here is a picture of what it looks like: You can download them here:...
