7 Instructional Shifts for College and Career Readiness Building knowledge through contentrich informational sources Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary
8 What are the defining characteristics of Thinking Maps?
9 Visual Patterns Used in combination for depth and complexity Used by all teachers Thinking Maps Based on 8 Cognitive Skills Applied in all content areas What are Thinking Maps?
10 What is the source? 75% 25% How does this information impact teacher instruction and student learning?
11 Visual Patterns Used in combination for depth and complexity Used by all teachers Thinking Maps Based on 8 Cognitive Skills Applied in all content areas What are Thinking Maps?
12 DRAW AN ILLUSTRATION OF A PATTERN? PATTERNS HELP WITH PREDICTION.
13 Graphic organizers do not provide students with predictable patterns for thinking.
14 This confusing variety of graphic organizers makes it impossible for students to own these tools.
15 SCAFFOLDING SECURITY AND ACCESS What is important is to allow all students to interact with challenging text on their own as frequently and independently as possible.
16 Visual Patterns Used in combination for depth and complexity Used by all teachers Thinking Maps Based on 8 Cognitive Skills Applied in all content areas What are Thinking Maps?
17 Page 8 Dendrites Cell Body Axon Synapse
18 NEURONS THAT FIRE TOGETHER GET WIRED TOGETHER. THAT IS WHAT A PATTERN IS!
19 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

35 Integration of Knowledge and Ideas Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.

47 Processing Activity 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.
48 Better learning will come not so much from finding better ways for the teacher to INSTRUCT but from giving the learner better ways to CONSTRUCT MEANING. The maps should become STUDENT TOOLS FOR INDEPENDENT THINKING AND COLLABORATION.

51 What is the purpose of each map and how do these visual patterns support critical and creative thinking? Learning the Maps
52 Guiding Questions How do you know what you know about this topic? The Frame of Reference Page 20 Did your information come from a specific source? Is this information being influenced by a specific point of view or perspective? So what do you now understand about the information in your map? Why is this information important?
53
54 Pp Circle Map What is the definition of? Defining and Brainstorming
55 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.
56 CLASSROOM APPLICATIONS The next few slides show examples of Circle Maps created by teachers and students from across the country. Record your notes on page 29.

162 Processing Activity Practice what you ve learned. You will be making all 8 Thinking Maps and sharing at least one with the group. Your topic is, CALIFORNIA
163 Gradual Release of Responsibility The purpose of the 8 week introduction process is to help students develop a level of independence with the language of the maps.
164 MONDAY: Introducing the Circle Map Create a Circle Map to help us all know important things about you. In the Frame of Reference, include key people and things that influence who you are. Pair with one other person and share your information
165 TUESDAY: I DO Teacher: What do you know about a coordinate plane? No response from students. Teacher: What if I told you some of the real-life uses of coordinate planes. I will write these in the Frame of Reference. (Teacher adds examples to the Frame.) Teacher: Now let s try to define the coordinate plane based on these examples. Teacher: Turn to your neighbor and tell him/her two of the defining characteristics of a coordinate plane
166 WEDNESDAY: WE DO Teacher: Before we start our lesson on geological formations, work with a partner to brainstorm everything you already know about the topic Add a Frame of Reference and write a brief definition based on the information in your Circle Map. Geological formations are Be prepared to share your ideas with the whole group.
167 THURSDAY: YOU DO Assignment: Research a famous American or American symbol. Take notes on the information and then choose key details to create a Who Am I? Circle Map.
