Non+linguistic

Using Non-Linguistic Representations ** || || __** Technology Integration:  **__ || || || || || || The following visualizing project will help students practice generating mental pictures. (Credit for original project given to Eric Postman.) The visualization project is a five day project that incorporates reading and rereading of a story, visualizing images, sequencing events, retelling the story, and illustrating the retelling of the story. The project is intending to be used with a picture book that contains a strong sequence. Daily project details are listed below. || || || || || Some ways students can use drawing pictures and creating pictographs to enhance their learning are: || || || Some examples includes: created by Sherri Miller, ITRT, Gloucester County Public Schools VSTE Conference ~ February, 2008 ||

 * Knowledge is stored in two forms - a linguistic form and an imagery form. The more we use both forms the better we are able to think about and recall knowledge. Studies show teachers primarily use linguistic representations to present new information (talking about content and reading content). The non-linguistic form is the imagery mode of representation; primarily mental pictures and physical sensations. Using non-linguistic representations will help students increase knowledge with mental images.

 * Marzano's recommendations for classroom practice include: * creating graphic representations through organizers
 * making physical models
 * generating mental pictures
 * drawing pictures and pictographs
 * engaging in kinesthetic activities ||
 * Using graphic representations (organizers) ||
 * Kidspiration and Inspiration are excellent software programs for creating graphic organizers. Marzano suggests using the following types of graphic organizers because they are the six most common patterns in organizing information. Encourage students to use pictures as well as words when completing the organizers.

 * Generating mental pictures ||
 * Visualizing is an important strategy students need to use when reading or learning new content. Using **digital cameras**, **MovieMaker**, **United Streaming**, **KidPix**, **Inspiration** and **Kidspiration** are a few resources to help students create mental images by stimulating their thinking.

 * * Day 1 - classroom
 * Teacher shows [|visualization PowerPoint] to class
 * First reading of story without illustrations (illustrations are not shown to class until the end of the project) || [[image:http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/nonling/visualimg.jpg width="160" height="121"]]
 * * Day 2 - computer lab
 * Students view story in [|PowerPoint] format and reread story together
 * Students use KidPix or other drawing program to illustrate one event from the story
 * Students take story home to reread for homework with parent/guardian (Word document) || [[image:http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/nonling/Anansi_ppt.jpg width="160" height="121"]]

 * Drawing pictures and pictographs ||
 * Using programs such as **KidPix**, **Inspiration**, **Kidspiration**, and **Excel** give students the opportunity to draw pictures or create pictographs (symbols) to represent ideas, events, places or objects.

 * illustrate a process (life cycles, writing process, solve an equation, science concept, government process, etc.)
 * create a story web
 * make a map
 * create pictographs for math ([|sample]) ||
 * The following project is one example using the writing process. After reading a story about two boys who created an invention, students were given the opportunity to create their own inventions. There were three parts to the process: ||
 * * Part 1 -
 * Students created a picture of their invention using KidPix
 * Pictures were exported and saved as .jpg picture files || [[image:http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/thumbnails/inventionpic_small.jpg link="http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/nonling/inventionpic.jpg"]]
 * * Part 2 -
 * Students created a web using Kidspiration showing what the invention could do
 * Pictures were exported and saved as .jpg picture files || [[image:http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/thumbnails/kidsweb2_small.jpg link="http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/nonling/kidsweb2.jpg"]]
 * * Part 3 -
 * Students used a Publisher [|template] to write a paragraph about their invention
 * The picture and web graphics were inserted into the Publisher file to create a card ([|sample]) || [[image:http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/thumbnails/writingproj_small.jpg link="http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/images/nonling/writingproj.jpg"]]
 * Engaging in kinesthetic activities and Making physical models ||
 * A mental picture is created in a student's mind when they use role play with physical movement. Creating movies with video and still digital photos reinforces the mental picture as students view them over and over again. Use software programs such as **MovieMaker** and **PhotoStory** to create movies.

 * Math manipulatives
 * Body math (illustrate angles, geometric shapes, multiplication, ordinal numbers, etc.)
 * Role-playing historical events or story events
 * [|A Living Alphabet]
 * Illustrate science concepts (earth cycles, food chains, weather, etc.)
