Project GLAD Focus and Motivation Strategies: Observation Charts » Larry Linebaugh

Check.Inquiry Charts? Check.Three Personal Standards? Check. What Project GLAD strategy to review today? Observation Charts. I learned that Observation Charts help students access background knowledge, promote academic discourse, and encite curiosity for your unit. Observation Charts are pretty straight forward. Send students out in pairs to write a comment, prediction, or question on each Observation Chart.

One example of a laminated Observation Chart, teacher added a separate peice of paper for students to write on. Give them plenty of time to work through each Observation Chart. Another example of an Observation Chart, this one has also been laminated. If your students are young, kinder or 1st grade, instead of writing full comments, predictions, or questions, students can draw symbols.

Dictogloss is primarily a listening and writing activity used with English Language Learners.

The Best Resources For Learning How To Use The Dictogloss Strategy With English Language Learners

It can certainly be done a number of different ways but, very simply-put, the teacher reads a short text, often one students are familiar with. Then, after the first time of just listening, the teacher reads it again and students write down notes of what they have heard. Next, the teacher reads it a third time and, again, the student writes down additional notes. The student then compares his/her notes with another student’s notes and they work together to develop an accurate reconstruction of the text — one that is not necessarily the exact wording, but that demonstrates its meaning accurately.

Finally, the teacher reads it again and students judge how well they did. Again, there are many variations on how to implement this engaging instructional strategy. Here are few of the best resources that I’ve found on using the dictogloss strategy. Embed Visuals into Teaching and Learning- Part 2  In another post, Embedding Visuals Into Teaching and Learning, I looked at ways to support our students’ ability to navigate a media rich world and “read and write” in that world.

Embed Visuals into Teaching and Learning- Part 2 

I shared how teachers could easily and quickly create visuals, that supported a question they wanted students to explore, break up long and monotone passages of text, review a concept discussed abstractly or make a real life connection. Wonderopolis is a fascinating site with great visual prompts for you to “hook” students into inquiry and further research. There are over 800 visual prompts from many many categories to choose from and even the option to submit your own “wonder to be included”. (This could be a great activity for your students to prepare submissions) Each prompt has a video, vocabulary words, further resources and a Did you Know section.
