How is the FRAME different than a web?

Are wealthy people more valuable?

Rich were given priority over poor for spaces on lifeboats

A great disaster can cause society to examine its values and practices so improvements can be made to save future lives

Newspaper article:” Titanic largest and fastest, so it’s probably unsinkable”

Titanic lessons from a disaster

When a myth is treated as a truth, people fool selves

Lesson: Don’t believe it because somebody said it

Builders began to believe the myth; took short-cuts

Owners liked “unsinkable” idea, so they encouraged people to believe it

Used cheaper steel (thin & brittle, 1 hull) so ship would not cost as much

Lesson: Safety always produces greatest profit in the long run

Fewer lifeboats = more attractive ship = more people buying ticketsFastest ship = more tickets sold = taking great risks in ice burg zone

Putting profit over safety = great loss of life

Lesson: All human life is equally valuable, regardless of wealth

Cabins closest to deck = most expensive = rich reach lifeboats 1st

Many of the poorer people were locked below so they couldn’t escape

Main idea

Teacher facilitates the evaluation of the newinformation with the students and intentionallyguides students to connect all the pieces of information in the Frame.

Extend understanding:

Remember…

• The Frame Routine helps students…– develop a more thorough understanding of important

information associated with key topics and main ideas.

– learn the information because it is a concrete representation of abstract ideas.

– to focus on the relationships between main ideas and details as well as among several main ideas.

– become strategic learners, capable of creatively and effectively processing information.

Beware of the pitfalls

1. Frames don’t have to be prepared before class.

2. Students don’t need to be involved in construction.

3. Students will automatically see the advantages of using a Frame.

4. If I don’t get it right the first time, I won’t ever get it.

Overview

• The F.R.A.M.E is a graphic device to increase student achievement

• It is to be “Co-constructed” with teacher AND student (mainly student-led)

• All F.R.A.M.E ‘s may look different for your different classes

Jigsaw Activity

GET READY !!

GET SET!

GO!! WIN!!

GET READY!

• Choosing when to use the routine:– Typically used to understand a considerable body of

content that has particular significance within the unit of study

– Any time students need to understand the organization or structure of information and the relationships between those pieces of information

Get Ready #2Collect ideas and materials…

• Think about a topic/concept you teach… - Jot down the key/main ideas - Add the essential details needed - Consider ideas for extending student learning

• Construct your draft (that you will use)

GET SET!!

• Introduce the Frame Routine to your students for the first time:– Set expectations for students–Model–Co-construct

GO!!

• Making the Frame Routine a regular part of your instruction– Expect it to be used correctly and completely– Vary the use of the routine – Slowly release responsibility to students– Always facilitate the “extend understanding”

step– Regularly evaluate/reflect on effectiveness

WIN!!Teachers win…

• Improved student learning of content ideas• Efficient manipulation of information• Organized and purposeful lessons• System of collegial support• Confidence as routine becomes effective• Increased rigor and relevance of curriculum

Students win…

• Confidence in learning power• Improved grades• Relevance/value in learning concepts• Critical thinking skills improve• Efficient manipulation of information
