As I finished reading Chapter Nine, I realized that the best use of my time would be to link my new appreciation for technology as an instructional resource to the strategies discussed in this text. So, I leave you with a list of additional strategies discussed in Chapters Eight and Nine.
- Graphic Organizer (Structured Overview, Idea Map, Advanced Organizer): spatially represents the relationships among the most important ideas of a text
- Constructing a Map (Clustering, Webbing): helps to determine a connecting, overarching principle that outlines the relationships among the parts; can include Story Mapping, Listing, and Semantic Maps
- Semantic Feature Analysis (Feature Analysis, Jot Charts): organizes new vocabulary in a matrix by its properties
- Scavenger Hunts: can be used to find vocabulary in magazines, newspapers, etc., and "have the added advantage of attaching words to the physical sensory as well as the cognitive domains of learning"
- Vocabulary Journals: include effective vocabulary instruction, using word origins, paraphrasing of a paragraph or two from a technical term-heavy book, a word-a-day, fill-in-the-blank sentences to put new vocabulary into meaninful contexts
- Learning Log: connects writing and thinking in an informal, expressive way that can emphasize writing-to-learn, the content knowledge itself, and students' thinking processes
- Personal Journal
- Writer's Notebooks
- Reading Response Journal
- Dialogue Journal/Dialectical Notebook
- Project or Research Log
- Real World Application Journal
