Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research question: In what ways do graphic organizers along with teacher guided questions affect third grade English Language Learner's performance on Narrative Writing prompts? Subquestions: How will this improve ELL's organization and focus on narrative prompts? How will this affect student's use of sensory details? How will this affect student's confidence about themselves as writers? How will this affect student's attitudes toward writing? Research Activities: Context: This inquiry took place in a third grade classroom at Lincoln Elementary School. The school implemented Response to Intervention (RTI) which required students to be grouped based on their reading abilities and sent to their leveled classroom to be taught reading and language arts. Three out of the four target students were English Language Learner's (ELL's) as indicated on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). The remaining student was classified as Initial Fluent English Proficient (IFEP). The target students were chosen based on their low performance on a district mandated narrative writing assessment. Methods and data: The Narrative writing intervention occurred over a period of eight weeks including a two week winter break. The main goals were to increase student's organization, use of adjectives, and use of story connectors. Other components studied included effects on confidence and interest in writing. Students practiced using the Quick Sketch graphic organizer as a pre-writing tool to organize their narrative writing with a beginning, middle, and end. They also practiced using the Adjective Organizer as a revising tool to include more adjectives in their writing. Students used the writing process (pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) for each writing task. Data sets include six narrative writing pieces, including a pre-assessment and two post assessments. Results: Comparisons of baseline and outcome data indicate one student made significant gains in both her organization and use of adjectives, one student made moderate gains, and two students showed slight improvements throughout the intervention, but did not show improvement on their post assessments. Conclusions: Comparisons of baseline and outcome data indicate using graphic organizers that included guided questions along with illustrations helped students to organize their ideas and write a more organized paper. It also helped improve the use of story connectors and adjectives. Generally, students' interest in writing went down slightly, but they showed increased confidence in their writing ability. Grade level: Third Grade. Data collection methods: Writing Assessments, Interviews, Survey-Attitude, and Observation -- Field Notes. Curriculum areas: ESL/ELL, Writing. Instructional approaches: Writing-Narrative, Writing-Explicit instruction, Student Engagement, Graphic organizers/concept maps, Note-taking.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The students in my social studies class had difficulty comprehending information from textbooks and other nonfiction reading. Graphic organizers, a general teaching tool that visual or spatial representations of the text, have been identified as tools to aid comprehension. The purpose of this study was to see if graphic organizers would improve the retention of information obtained from a social studies textbook. Graphic organizers were implemented in a sixth grade classroom over a seven week period during the fall of 2007 at Monticello Middle School. Three different types of graphic organizers were implemented in a sixth grade social studies unit on the Stone Ages and early cultures. The study consisted of two sixth grade classes, each with 23 students. One class received the treatment of the graphic organizers and the other class did not. The research administered in initial survey and a pretest to rate the students' knowledge of graphic organizers and the unit topic. The students were taught how to use the graphic organizers through explicit, whole class instruction and were used in conjunction with the textbook. A multiple-choice posttest and survey were given and results were compared between the two classes. Results indicated a significant increase in the comprehension of the text of the students involved in the treatment group.
