Examples: Exploring Ideas

Posted on April 10, 2008

Open Court, the language arts program in my district, uses a construct to tie together ideas from reading selections in a unit called the Concept and Question board. Mathew Needleman describes this as a “second cousin twice removed” to the K-W-L chart. I prefer to call it a Question and Concept because I believe questions come before ideas. You can read more from Mr. Needleman about C & Q here. I have taken these organizers to the Internet using an application called VoiceThread which combines images/video with audio commentary. Here are some that I have done with my classes:

Third Grade Money Unit

Third Grade Country Life Unit

Fifth Grade Revolutionary War Unit (Making a New Nation)

Sixth Grade Music Unit (Beyond the Notes)
