an advanced organizer in a bb guy now preview samana readers [Music] here are some examples of advanced organizers expository advanced organizers give students a broad idea of the lesson's purpose before the lesson begins for example a teacher may tell students what the lessons goals are we've talked about what habitats are and why some animals prefer to live in different places than other animals do our goal today is to learn about the four layers of a tropical rainforest and which animals live in each of those different layers teachers often also write the goals on the board next is narrative advance organizers on the other hand involved storytelling [Music] at the beginning of the class the teacher might tell an interesting story that relates to important concepts in the lesson i'm going to tell you a story about a little tree frog who climbed from the forest floor up to the very top of the tallest tree in the rainforest skimming is another type of advanced organizer a teacher may ask students to skim over a reading focusing on highlighted information such as captions or chapter headings that makes them familiar with the material before they read it more thoroughly younger students might take a picture walk through the reading a picture walk is a shared activity between a child and an adult that occurs prior to reading the book where you flip through the pages

structure information visually or in pictures they are usually one-page forms with lots of blank areas so they are easy for students to skim before the lesson for example a teacher might give students a simple drawing of a tree with lines marking each of the four layers of the rainforest as the lesson goes on the students can fill in the graphic organizer with the names of the different layers and of the animals that live in them graphic organizers take on a plethora of avenues and looks here are some other examples of commonly used graphic organizers but not necessarily used in advance

sample graphic organizers that i have on the list organizers [Music] now balik ties a discussion on advanced organizers kwl chart is another popular form of advanced organizer before a lesson begins students may be asked to divide a page into three columns then they use the first column to write what they think they know about the topic that's where the k comes from in the acronym in the second column they add what they want that stands for w to know about the topic and after the lesson they write what they've learned which stands for l in the third column creating a kwl chart makes students think about what they already know that makes them feel more comfortable with the new material they are learning as a result their interest and focus may increase [Music] and also analogies analogies are comparisons of two things that are alike in some way they can also be used as advanced organizers research has shown that it helps students to realize that a new topic relates to something familiar for example in one study two groups of students were each given an article about how radar works the first group's article started with a short analogy comparing radar to a ball bouncing off a wall the second group's article didn't have an analogy when tested on how well they'd understood the group that read the article with the analogy did better they used what they already knew about how a ball bounces to understand how radar works now that we're done discussing about advanced organizers we will now proceed say sepang textual aid the title yes you heard it right is another form of textual aid [Music] [Music] well providing titles for passages improves the comprehension and memorability of text titles have generally been thought to facilitate comprehension at later stages of

as examples for non-linear texts some examples include flow charts charts graphs and graphic organizers such as knowledge maps and story maps let's start with table table is an arrangement of information in rows and columns containing cells that make comparing and contrasting information easier here is a sample table and its corresponding parts we have the table number [Music] title captions or the column headings stubs or row headings footnote and source proceed to graph graph is used when a simple table cannot adequately demonstrate important relationships of and within data here are some classifications of graph bar graph uses either vertical or horizontal bars to show the data it represents the height of the bar indicates the value it represents the longer the bar the higher the value it represents the shorter the bar the lower the value it represents meanwhile here are the parts of a bar graph title the title tells us what the graph is about labels the labels tell us what kinds of facts are listed bars the bars show the facts in addition the bars can be either horizontal or vertical we also have line graph line graph is used to show how numerical data have changed over time and it is best used to show trends here is a sample of line graph and its parts title tells what is being represented x-axis or the horizontal axis shows the names of the things being compared y-axis or the vertical axis has numbers for whatever is being named next we have pie graph or pie chart shows how a hole is divided into parts here are the parts of a pie graph title

icons or symbols we can represent the frequency of data while using symbols or images that are relevant using a pictograph pictographs are one of the simplest ways of representing data here are the corresponding parts of the sample pictograph title tells us what the pictograph is about pictures tell us the given number of objects labels what kind of data is shown key tells us the number each picture is equal to now we're done discussing this textual aids advanced organizers titles and non-linear illustrations in addition illustrations or pictures are also considered textual aids this are
