What are Thinking Maps and how are they different from Graphic Organizers?

Use a Circle Map to define Thinking Maps.

80% of all information that comes into our brain is VISUAL

40% of all nerve fibers connected to the brain are linked to the retina

-Eric Jensen, Brain Based Learning

36,000 visual messages per hour may be registered by the eyes.

DUAL CODING THEORY

Knowledge is stored in two forms: Linguistic Form

Nonlinguistic Form

Research proves that the more we use both systems of representation, the better we are able to think and recall knowledge.

SCAFFOLDING

BRAIN RESEARCH CONNECTION

“It has been shown that explicitly engaging students in the creation of nonlinguistic representations stimulates and increases activity in the brain.” (see Gerlic & Jausovec, 1999)

The Thinking Maps give students a concrete visual pattern for an abstract cognitive skill.

From

A Framework for Understanding Poverty Ruby K. Payne, Ph.D. Chapter Eight: Instruction and Improving Achievement

“The true discrimination that comes out of poverty is the lack of cognitive strategies. The lack of these unseen attributes handicaps, in every aspect of life, the individual who does not have them.”

BRAIN COMPATIBLE TEACHING

Page 8

“The overwhelming need for learners is for meaningfulness… we do not come to understand a subject or master a skill by sticking bits of information to each other. Understanding a subject results from perceiving relationships. The brain is designed as a pattern detector. Our function as educators is to provide our students with the sorts of experiences that enable them to perceive patterns that connect.” Making Connections: Teaching and the Human Brain (1994), Caine & Caine

“Thinking Maps store information the way the brain does.” Pat Wolfe July 2005

1. Put away your notes. Then work with your group to define Thinking Maps. 2. Use a Circle Map to collect your ideas. 3. Include any notes that you remember about what they are and why they work as tools for thinking. 4. Also include information about how Thinking Maps are different from graphic organizers.

Adding a Frame of Reference

•How do you know what you know about this topic? •Did your information come from a specific source? •Is this information being influenced by a specific point of view? •Who could use this information? •Why is this information important?

GUIDING QUESTIONS

Guiding Questions for Constructing a Circle Map: •What are the context clues that help define this word, topic or idea? •What do you already know about this word, topic or idea? Guiding Questions for Adding a Frame of Reference: •How do you know what you know? •Where are you getting your information?

Page 25

KEY INFORMATION

Page 26

The Circle Map is used to define a concept, word or idea. It is a great map to use to diagnose prior knowledge, brainstorm before writing, or use as a lesson closure.

Before going to your Expert Group: 3. Read the pages in Chapter One - Introduction that correspond with the map you have been assigned. 4. Highlight key information, take notes, and be prepared to share your ideas in your Expert Group.

Directions for Your Expert Group

Page 22

1. Have a general discussion about the Thinking Map you will be teaching. Discuss the ways you might be able to use this map with the grade level and/or content you teach. 3. Make sure everyone in your group can draw the Map and name the thought process the map represents. 5. As a group, decide on the 4 or 5 details you need to include when you teach your Home Group this map. 7. Finally to make sure that you understand your Thinking Map, create an original application that you can use as an example when you teach your Home Group. Everyone in your Expert Group should draw and use the same map idea as an example. (Check with your trainer to make sure your original example is correct.)

KEY WORDS Identify the Relationship, Guess the Rule, Symbolism, Metaphor, Allegory, Analogy, Simile

GUIDING QUESTIONS

Guiding Questions for Constructing a Bridge Map: •What is the similar relationship between these two things? •What other pairs of things have the same relationship? Guiding Questions for Adding a Frame of Reference: •How do you know what you know? •Why is it important to know these relationships?

Page 67

KEY INFORMATION

Page 68

The Bridge Map helps students identify the relationships between words. As long as the relationship remains the same, the Bridge Map can be extended beyond 2 pairs of words.

An apple is a type of fruit as a carrot is a type of vegetable.

Draw the Bubble Map and label its parts.

Name the thought process:

DESCRIBING

NOTE MAKING GUIDE Notes:

Page 35

For the BUBBLE MAP Adjectives and adjective phrases only. Great for vocabulary development (vivid word choice) and inferential thinking.

Descriptors can be sensory, comparative, emotional or aesthetic.

Focus on adjectives. One strategy is to keep a “Circle on the Side.”

Science

NOTE MAKING GUIDE

Draw the Double Bubble Map and label its parts.

Name the thought process:

COMPARING AND CONTRASTING

NOTE MAKING GUIDE

Page 41

For the DOUBLE BUBBLE MAP Notes:

Helps students compare and contrast any ideas, people, cultures, concepts, things they are studying. Because of the depth of thought, students may need to create two Circle Maps, two Bubble Maps, etc before making the Double Bubble Map. How are these two things similar and different? Why are these similarities and differences important? What have you learned by constructing this map? The Double Bubble Map can be used in place of the Venn Diagram, especially when focusing on the differences between two things. The Venn Diagram should continue to be used in math for set theory.

Comparing enhances meaning

Frame of Reference Application: Big Idea or Summary statement – What I learned from making this map: The basic story and its theme is the same. What changes in the stories has to do with the different cultures.

The square root function

A parabola

NOTE MAKING GUIDE Draw the Tree Map and label its parts.

Name the thought process:

CLASSIFYING

Page 47

NOTE MAKING GUIDE Notes:

Page 47

For the TREE MAP The Tree Map helps students classify information based on similar qualities, attributes, or details. They can be developed inductively or deductively.

How would you group this information? What are the ideas and details that support your main idea?

Great for Assessment!

Draw the Brace Map and label its parts.

Name the thought process:

WHOLE TO PART RELATIONSHIPS

NOTE MAKING GUIDE Notes:

Page 53

For the BRACE MAP The Brace Map is for the structural analysis of a concrete object. These maps almost always use nouns to name the parts of an object.

What is the name of the whole object? What are the major physical parts of the object? What sources did you use to identify the whole and its parts? The Brace Map is often confused with a Tree Map. Remember that the Brace Map identifies “parts of” something. The Tree Map identifies “kinds of” things.

Enhance transfer: Part to Whole

We need to know how to convert % to decimals.

We have to know that this is a two step problem.

We could use 10%.

We need some prior knowledge about what a “tip” is.

For the FLOW MAP A Flow Map can be used to show sequences, steps, comparisons or degrees. The Flow Map can be drawn from left to right, in a cycle, or in a rising and falling action form as long as each box is connected to another using an arrow.

What is the name of the event or sequence? What are the stages of each event? What prior knowledge and/or experiences influence your understanding about this processes or series of events?

The sub-stages in the Flow Map must also be in a sequence, not just a list of details.

Draw the Multi-Flow Map and label its parts.

Name the thought process:

CAUSE AND EFFECT

NOTE MAKING GUIDE

Page 65

Notes: The Multi-Flow Map helps students identify the causes and effects of an event. When constructing the map, always focus first on the event. The causes and effects do not have to balance. Students may also construct a one-sided Multi-Flow. What are the causes and effects of this event? Where did you get your information? Did a specific time period influence the causes and/or effects? The event is the key to this map. It must be a “happening.” The event should be “the flooding of the Nile” instead of just “the Nile.”

We watched a video.

NOTE MAKING GUIDE For the FRAME OF REFERENCE Notes:

The Frame of Reference can be used around any map.
