IDENTIFYING SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
1. Guide students in identifying similarities and differences.
2. Allow students to identify similarities and differences independently.
3. Represent similarities and differences in graphic or symbolic forms.
4. Vary identification of similarities and differences.• Comparing• Classifying• Creating metaphors• Creating analogies
SUMMARIZING AND NOTE TAKING
Teach students the “rules” of summarizing: Delete material that is not necessary for
understanding. Delete material that is redundant. Substitute more general terms for lists (for example:
substitute flowers for daisies, tulips and roses). Select a topic sentence or invent one if it is missing.
Provide students will summary frames (narrative, topic-restriction-illustration, definition, argumentation, problem/solution, conversation).
Utilize reciprocal teaching with students. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbnwBVrJVdY Prepare notes for students (informal outline,
webbing, or combination note-taking).
REINFORCING EFFORT AND PROVIDING RECOGNITION
Help students realize the importance of believing in effort.
Help students learn to change their beliefs to an emphasis on effort.

HOMEWORK AND PRACTICE
Establish and communicate a homework policy.
Design homework assignments that clearly articulate the purpose and outcome.
Vary the approaches to providing feedback. Design practice assignments that focus on
specific elements of a complex skill or process.
Plan time for students to increase their conceptual understanding of skills or processes.

NONLINGUISTIC REPRESENTATIONS
Provide a variety of activities that produce nonlinguistic representations:
Create graphic representations Make physical models Generate mental pictures Draw pictures and pictographs Engage in kinesthetic activity
Science
Literacy
Mathematics
COOPERATIVE LEARNING
Use a variety of criteria for grouping students.
Manage group size Combine cooperative learning with other
classroom structures.
SETTING OBJECTIVES AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK
Narrow the focus of instructional goals. Generalize instructional goals rather than
focus on specific behavioral objectives. Encourage students to personalize the
learning goals. Provide feedback that is “corrective” in
nature and specific to a criterion. Provide feedback in a timely manner. Involve students in providing feedback. Incorporate rubrics when providing feedback.
GENERATING AND TESTING HYPOTHESES Ask students to clearly explain their hypothesis and
conclusions. Provide students with templates for reporting their work. Provide sentence stems for students to help them
articulate their explanations. Provide or develop with students rubrics so that they
know what the evaluation criteria are. Use a variety of structured tasks to guide students
through generating and testing hypotheses. System analysis Problem solving Historical investigation Invention Experimental inquiry Decision making
CUES, QUESTIONS AND ADVANCED ORGANIZERS
Focus cues and questions on what is important instead of on what is unusual.
Develop higher level questions to promote deeper learning.

9Ak Use questioning at the beginning of the
lesson to elicit student understanding and establish a mental set for the learning experience.
