What type of graphic organizer(s) might the student require in order to visually represent and organize the concepts and behaviors that relate to this particular topic?
Example 1: It may be necessary to present a question from the practice assessment, and then provide the student with four or five paper strips – each containing one answer choice. The student might then manually sort the strips into two labeled piles: “RED FLAG answer -NO!” and “Maybe the right answer.”
Once the student has eliminated “red flag” (worst) answers, then he can evaluate remaining options. For some students, this manual sorting process is an appropriate alternative (at least in the early stages of teaching) to the act of reading choices on a page, holding concepts in mind, mentally eliminating choices, etc.
Example 2: For some students, it would be appropriate to devise a graphic organizer that allows them to manually sort question cards by type (or to place a label next to each question on a practice assessment):
Consider how these concepts represented in the mnemonic device C.A.S.H. might be stored on a visual reminder cue to support a more accurate analysis of each question and answer choice (see Visual Cues section for example).
Is there a way to visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests into this graphic organizer to increase motivation and engagement?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. icons, bolding, highlighting, color-coding) might you add to the graphic organizer to clarify concepts and to direct attention to key details?
In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a graphic organizer in the View2do program?
