Description

The experimental condition followed a recurring lesson routine: (a) modeling graphic organizers, (b) guided practice, (c) reading a selected textbook text, (d) generating comprehension questions, (e) filling in organizers with visuals, (f) using target words in clarifying sentences, (g) discussing word meanings, and (h) "hanging the organizers on classroom walls on which students can see and be proud of their products". Three organizer types were used: concept definition map, circle thinking map and word-questioning strategy, with think-pair-share for partner work.
