*Instructional Steps

● procedure:

- Ask teachers to identify the most difficult and most important things to teach - -  

              - MODEL, with two interesting, difficult, important concepts

              - Break group into pairs perhaps three, or more,  if the concept involved requires it

- Ask either a group of teachers, or a group of students,  in pairs, to work together for a few minutes and identify the similarities and differences relevant to their assigned topic to teach, then to arrange them on a sheet in the manner of the Flieshman poem, with similarities on the same line, to be spoken at the same time, and differences on different lines, to be spoken separately

*About the Strategy:

● Description: Ss are asked to work in pairs, taking turns to create an accurate summary of a larger text in 10 words or less – usually counting on fingers to prove the count.  They go through several revisions to insure all important features of the text are captured while still meeting the 10 word limit.  NO draft can be shared with the teacher or the class until both members of the pair attest to the completeness and 10 word brevity of the gist.

  Metaphorical March

Artful Learning Arts Based Strategies

Nicole Hanson

(K – 5)

 

“In like a lion, out like a lamb”

 

March is our only “metaphorical” month!  So, take advantage of these ideas to increase thinking skills with all of your students.

 

Marzano’s High Yield Strategies addressed in these lessons:

  • Identifying Similarities and Differences  (45% gain)
  • Generating and testing hypothesis            (25% gain)
  • Nonlinguistic Representation                    (27% gain)

 

Glyph

 

 A pictograph / Nonlinguistic Representation (high yield Marzano strategy)

 

Materials: 

 

Art paper

Pencils

Crayons / markers

 

  1. On your paper, draw a very large kite. Write your name on the back of the paper.
  2. If you walk to school, color your kite blue. If you ride the bus, color it yellow. If you travel to school in some other way, color the kite green.
  3. If you have freckles, put dots on your kite. If you do not have freckles, put stripes on your kite.
  4. If you brought your lunch today, draw one cloud in the sky. If you did not, draw two clouds.
  5. Draw a line on your kite to hold some bows. Now add to the line one bow the color of your eyes for each brother you have and one bow the color of your hair for each sister.
  6. Draw as many birds in the sky as years you are old.
  7. If you will have a birthday this month, draw a sun in the sky. If your birthday

     is not in this month, draw a moon.

                                                  Nicole Hanson (2007)

Simile Exercise

 

In like a lion, out like a lamb

 

In like a _____________, out like a _______________.

Examples:

In like a music note, out like a song.

In like water, out like ice.

 

(K, 1)  A lion is as angry as a/an ______________.

         A lamb is as gentle as a/an __________________.

 

 

Creative Thinking

(Identifying similarities and differences – Marzano high yield strategy)

 

Use the wording:  numerous, unique, imaginative

 

 Day 1:  Think of the numerous, unique and imaginative uses for an object other than what it is intended to be.  Write all of the students’ ideas on the board.  Make them think!  Erase these when finished as to not use any of these ideas for Day 2.

 

Metaphorical Transformations

(Identifying similarities and differences – Marzano high yield strategy)

 

Use the wording:  numerous, unique, imaginative

 

Day 2:  Transform the object into something unique that no one else in the class will come up with.  Make the student write 3 ideas their object could become.  Show the teacher.  The teacher decides what idea is most unusual.

 

Sentence stem: (example)

My spectacular shamrock has become a/an______(adjective)______(noun).
