Frayer Model
Out of the three models we discussed and looked at, the Frayer Model was the model which stood out to me the most. I like how the Frayer Model breaks the word into four different groups. First off, the students will define the word. This is important to grasp an understanding and knowledge of the word's meaning. Second, is the characteristics/facts of the word. This allows students to show the facts that highlight the word being defined. This can allow the student to relate to the word. Third, is examples of the word. This is one of my favorites part as you can get a visual grasp on the word or present other words which go along with the word being defined. Examples can help a student understand and put a picture with the word to help grasping the understanding of the word. Some students are visual learners and a visual example can help them remember. Fourth, is non-examples of the word. I like this cause you can put the opposite meaning of the word and get a grasp that way. The Frayer Model is a model I can see myself using when it comes to having students defining words. It allows students to be creative with their ability of grasping the knowledge of the word/s.

Clint,
ReplyDeleteI chose the Frayer Model as well. I love the visuals. I think I subconsciously chose it because I am more familiar with it than the others. I posted on my blog some great online apps for students to use to create their Frayer Model definitions. I like the choice board as a means to differentiate the assignments to allow multiple entries.
I also decided to write about the Frayer Model. I liked how many different ways it could be changed to work for a lot of different subjects. You could use it to define math terms and include words and pictures to define it. You could use only pictures to define something, only words, or a combination of both. You can do it independently, as a group, or as a class. There’s so many things you can do with it!
ReplyDeleteClint,
ReplyDeleteI think I am the only one who used all three strategies in my post because I could not choose just one. They all seem like great tools to use when teaching because all students learn differently. I think using all of them will benefit all my students and have fun while learning. Great post!

Clint,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, great post! Second, I totally agree with you! The Frayer Model is something you can use in all subject matters, and we always need to teach our students new vocabulary so they are building their own. So, it's definitely a beneficial strategy for sure!
