A MODEL LESSON
During the upcoming lesson you will:
•Add Frames of Reference to a variety of Thinking Maps
•Create Thinking Maps throughout a lesson
•Construct Thinking Maps using several cooperative learning strategies

How do you know what you know?
Prior Knowledge
Now, let’s read a
specific
SOURCE
Check your Prior Knowledge against what you learned from after reading
“Tacky” (the source).
COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY
Count off at your tables
1 – 4.
Write your number on your paper.
1
2 3
4
1’s
Describe Tacky from the Hunters’
POV
2’s
Describe Tacky from
Tacky’s POV
3’s
Describe Tacky from the Companions’ POV before
the Hunters arrived.
4’s
Describe Tacky from the
Companions’ POV after the Hunters leave.
MAP, MOVE, MAP
Hold the map you have created in your hand and stand up.
Raise your hand, holding up either one, two, three or four fingers based on
your assignment.
Locate someone else with the same number and pair with that person.
Exchange maps and discuss your ideas with each other. “Borrow” ideas from each other and add them to your
own map.
This cooperative learning activity can be
found on page 260.
RETURN TO YOUR TABLES
FINAL TASK
As a group, create a Flow Map with just 4 boxes to summarize the story. Leave room on your paper for a final Frame of Reference.

What do you know now that you have summarized this book?
What are the big ideas from this book?
CLOSURE
Take some time to meet by grade level or department in order to plan how you might use the Frame of Reference in your own classroom. During the next few weeks try to use the Frame of Reference
• with a variety of Thinking Maps.
• for a variety of purposes.
Save your students’ work and be prepared to share their examples at our next follow-up session.
