Download or read book Does this Go in the Introduction Or the Body Paragraph written by Michelle DeLong and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Question: How will the use of a graphic organizer affect the overall cohesiveness of sixth grade students' essay writing? Research Activities: The focus of this intervention was to teach students how to use a graphic organizer as a tool to provide structure and organization while writing a problem and solution essay, a genre of writing required by the California Content Standards for sixth grade. Context: This intervention took place in a 6th grade, self-contained classroom with 29 students. Methods and Data: The intervention spanned three consecutive weeks and took 14 days to implement. First, students were introduced to the graphic organizer and created a problem and solution essay as a whole class. Then students used the graphic organizer to create their own problem and solution essay related to a curricular novel. Finally, students used the graphic organizer to write a problem and solution essay on a topic of their choice. Data sets include students' essays before and after having used the graphic organizer. Organization was measured by a rubric score and the "overall cohesiveness" of the essay. An essay was scored as "Cohesive" if it had one main idea, stuck to that main idea throughout the essay, and if information was presented in a logical order. Also, attitudinal data includes teacher notes from a class discussion about writing before and after the intervention. Results: Overall, students' essay organization improved. About 79% of the post-intervention writing samples were scored as "Cohesive," and received higher rubric scores than the pre-intervention writing samples. Students expressed use of graphic organizers made writing more enjoyable and indicated a stronger desire to use graphic organizers as a writing strategy. Grade Level: Sixth Grade. Data Collection Methods: Discussion notes, Observation-Field Notes, Student Work, Survey-Attitude, Writing Samples. Curriculum Areas: Writing. Instructional Approaches: Graphic organizers/concept maps, Writing-Expository, Writing-Rubrics.

Book The Impact of Graphic Organizer and Metacognitive Monitoring Instruction on Expository Science Text Comprehension in Fifth Grade Students

Download or read book The Impact of Graphic Organizer and Metacognitive Monitoring Instruction on Expository Science Text Comprehension in Fifth Grade Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to examine the impact of teaching both graphic organizer and metacognitive monitoring strategies on the comprehension of 5th grade students reading expository science text. In 2000, the National Reading Panel recommended multi-strategy comprehension instruction; graphic organizers and metacognitive monitoring were two of the recommended strategies. Few studies have examined the impact of combining graphic organizer instruction with metacognitive reading strategy instruction. In this study the effectiveness of teaching both graphic organizer and metacognitive monitoring strategies was compared with instruction in either graphic organizer or metacognitive monitoring strategies. Students in the Graphic Organizer + Metacognitive Monitoring Condition and students in the Metacognitive Monitoring Condition showed increased reading comprehension scores over the course of the six-week intervention on seven expository science passages, whereas students in the Graphic Organizer Condition showed no improvement in passage comprehension scores. In addition, over the course of the intervention, students in the Graphic Organizer + Metacognitive Monitoring Condition showed a significant increase in test scores on a standardized test of reading comprehension. With regard to the increase in reading passage and comprehension test scores, findings from this study revealed that score increases occurred only in conditions where students received metacognitive monitoring strategy instruction. Evidence from this study revealed the importance of metacognitive strategy instruction on reading comprehension gains.
