Week 1
I think each of the three strategies that we discussed in class are beneficial and effective for the students. The one that stood out to me at first was the frayer model. I would use this strategy with my students to learn about the definitions of vocabulary words. I like the organization chart used within this model, because it helps the students understand the word better. The frayer model challenges the students to analyze the definition and characteristics then apply that information into examples.
I found this example of a frayer model that students would fill out while reading a book or story. I taught a reading lesson to 1st grade students last semester and we read the book, Tomas Rivera by Jane Medina. I was going to have the students read in an echo style, but they requested popcorn style so we did that instead. While we were reading the book, I would stop and ask inquisitive questions to challenge the students to analyze the text compared to the pictures in the story. I think the frayer model would have been an effective strategy to use within this type of situation, especially for older grades. I like the idea of writing a word in the middle then filling out the other boxes to better understand the word in the middle and make connections. This process helps students attain a better understanding on the word, details in the story, and book altogether.

I really like the frayer model as well! You can use it for so many different things. I would personally want to use it with a new vocabulary in a math class. Like what you said, it will helps the students better understand the word and find details on how to use it. It is so versatile!
ReplyDeleteI was so confused at first when I was introduced to the frayer model a few semesters ago. I wasn't really sure what a non-example was until the teacher explained it more to us. Once I had the chance to actually work with it for an assignment in that class it made sense. I really like this model to learn vocabulary. I think it can be used in almost every content area. I think it is a fantastic tool to have in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteNow that I understand the Frayer Model better, I agree that it is a great model to use for multiple ages and multiple content areas. I also like that the students get to personalize it so that they can use the information that works best for them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the background on your blog!
The Frayer model can be confusing at first but is so great once you figure it out and know how to use it. I think this can be used in so many different ways with many different grades. Students get to make it their own based on what they need-I love that!
