Maps have been used for centuries to help orient us in the physical
world, yet they can also be useful tools for making sense of the
more abstract world of thought. This remarkable book explores
visual techniques for helping students understand how they think so
they can become more effective learners. "Thinking Visually"
combines the latest research with effective classroom practices
that offer new possibilities for teachers and students.
- Activities included are designed
to:
- teach thinking skills as part of any subject areas;
- improve reading and writing skills;
- support each stage of the learning process;
- demonstrate and develop intelligence;
- encourage four essential learning skills that apply to all
students, regardless of the preferred learning style;
- measure intelligence and improvement in learning;
- explore effective classroom practices for planning, teaching,
and reviewing.
The visual learning strategies presented throughout the book will
help students demonstrate their own thinking, increase their
capacity to learn, and assume ownership and responsibility for
their learning. Simple approaches to mastering the visual
presentation of information range from exercises in categorization
to persuasive student examples that illustrate thinking principles.
A number of ready-to-use reproducible worksheets complement the
text and make it easier to put these strategies to work right away.
