Frayer Model
One of the strategies I use on a regular basis in my classroom is the Frayer Model (pic 1 below). This gives the student an opportunity to analyze and visualize vocabulary words so they have a better understanding of the words modeled. This graphic organizer helps students to think about the word they are defining in four different areas; definition, it's characters, example and non-examples. I have modified it my classroom. First of all, I have them complete the model in Google Slides. I have students define the word, list fun facts of the word, use the word in a sentence and finally put a picture of it (pic 2 below).

Hi Bronc! I love the Frayer model also, but I especially like your idea of incorporating it in Google slides. I think it is neat because the students can share it with each other. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the layout of your blog! Very impressive. I really like the Frayer model, too. I used something similar to this when assigning vocabulary words for a novel that my class was reading. Instead of using examples and non-examples, I had them write the definition using their own words while still using the vocabulary word in the context of the novel, dictionary definition, find images that depicts the word, and use the word in a sentence. Very similar to your "prohibition" one. We called it mind-mapping. It also included synonyms, antonyms, and part of speech. I think it is a helpful way for students to learn vocab.
ReplyDeleteBronc,
ReplyDeleteLove the design of your blog! I also really like that you chose to talk about Frayer maps and that you included pictures with your blog post. I too believe that Frayer maps are a great tool for teaching students about vocabulary words and giving them an idea of all the different elements that go into a word. Great post!
Sorry I am just now posting on your blog for any weeks. The link that was with everyone else's was a dead link. I just now thought of clicking on your blogger name when you posted. I like how you used the frayer model on Google slides. That makes it easy; for when the students have a substitute. Depending on what grade it is, the students can access the frayer model through Google classroom; even if there is a substitute teacher. The way you have modified the frayer model; to have the students use a sentence and include a picture, is a great use of incorporating technology within the classroom. I like your use of the frayer model and will probably use this within my own classroom. I will probably use Google slides and use the way you use the frayer model;but maybe as a journal writing activity. I might possibly have them keep an online "journal". Thank you for posting such great ideas.
