Graphic Intelligence: Integrating
Graphic Organizers and Connecting
that Integration to Assessment
Playing with Possibilities: Beirut 2012
Objective for this session…
Extend our understanding of and ability to
apply graphic organizers: Ranking Ladders,
Venn Diagrams, Fish Bone Diagrams, Mind
Mapping and Concept Mapping. And more
importantlt, to sense how to integrate multiple
graphic organizers and how integration
connects to student assessment.

Overview of
Instructional Intelligence
• Instructional intelligence involves:
– Knowledge of the learner
– Knowledge of curriculum
– Knowledge of assessment
– Knowledge of instruction
– Knowledge of change
– Knowledge of systemic change

One component of “Knowledge of
Instruction” is …
Graphic Organizers
What do you already know?
With a partner, take about two
minutes and identify all the graphic
organizers you have seen and
hopefully experienced.
Compare your list with this list and there is no doubt more.
Fish Bone, Concept Map, Mind Map,
Flow Chart, Time Line, Word Web,
Venn Diagram, Ranking Ladder etc.
LET’S PLAY WITH ONE
Ranking Ladder
• identify your top 3 places to visit
• rank them from first to last to visit
• identify what is missing from your
ranking ladder
• how do you get students to develop
the skills to identify criteria for
ranking?
RANKING LADDER
PMI
• What are the PLUSES, MINUSES
and IMPORTANT things to consider
about Supply Teaching.
• How does PMI assist students to
more precisely/thoughtfully rank
ideas.
NOTE: PMI is one of 60 critical thinking
tactics from de Bono’s CoRT
program.
Ranking Graphic Organizers
According to their Complexity
• Please rank the graphic organizers
below using a Ranking Ladder.

GIVEN
• Concept Maps and Mind Maps
(if done properly) ask students to
first identify what they know and
then classify that knowledge into
categories -- therefore -- it must be
analysis re levels of thinking and
inductive thinking regarding types
of thinking.
So what is the Type and
Level of Thinking?
• Venn Diagram
• Fish Bone Diagram
• Ranking Ladder
Mind Map/Concept Maps
DIRECTIONS:
• Put your chairs in circles – say groups
of 6
• Analyze Mind Maps or Concept Maps
• Identify the critical attributes of MM or
CM
• Create Venn Diagram
• Compare with another table
• Share with larger group
• Listen to mini-lecture/group discussion

Two Types of Linking Words
• Descriptive or Passive: they illustrate
the students ability to recall and
comprehend relationships between two
concepts
• Cause and Effect or Dynamic: they
illustrate the students ability to analyze,
synthesize or evaluate relationships
between two concepts
Assessment
• For learning (formative)
• Of learning (summative)
• Matching our instruction with
our assessment
• Applying instruction in
assessment
• Where do graphic organizers fit?
a sample
provincial outcome
• By the end of grade six students will
demonstrate their understanding of the
four types of motion: oscillating, linear,
reciprocating, and rotational.
• This has explicit and implicit implications.
Explicit Level of Thinking re
assessment
• This outcome tells kids they will be
assessed at the comprehension level
of Bloom’s Taxonomy -- they will
have to explain each in their own
words and be able to generate
examples of each type of motion
Implicit level at which the teacher
will have to teach
• This outcome also informs teachers
that they will most likely have to
teach it at the analysis level of
thinking re Bloom’s Taxonomy as
the students will have to understand
the similarities and differences
between the four types of motion.
SO…
What type of thinking does this
outcome encourage?
• Inductive thinking -- the students will
have to classify the different types of
motion -- so, give them some pictures,
say 4 or 5 of each, put the pictures in an
envelop, have the students work in pairs
to classify them -- then do a Jigsaw on
each of the four -- then do a Venn
Diagram or Fish Bone or Mind Map on
the 4 types of motion
What instructional methods do
you have that push analysis?
