for Reading/ Writing Assessment

https://teslassessmentbyerica.weebly.com/readingwriting.html

"Why I chose this item:
Graphic organizers are a great way to assess a students development in writing in English because they help the student to visually organize what they are writing.  It takes away a lot of the stress of writing a paper when they can see it broken down into more manageable segments.  I chose this particular graphic organizer because it has added visuals to aid the students in organizing their writing.
How I will use it in my classroom:
I will use this in my classroom as a formative assessment tool to see how students are progressing in there writing.  I will also use graphic organizers to give extra support to ELLs when they are writing.  I can also use them as a summative assessment tool to determine what level a student is in their writing development.

Wikispaces was founded in 2005 and has since been used by educators, companies and individuals across the globe.

Unfortunately, the time has come where we have had to make the difficult business decision to end the Wikispaces service.

We first announced the site closure in January 2018, through a site-wide banner that appeared to all logged-in users and needed to be clicked on to dismiss

During the closure period a range of banners were shown to users, including a countdown banner in the final month. Additionally, the home page of Wikispaces.com became a blog, detailing the reasons for the closure. Private Label Site Administrators were contacted separately regarding the closure

Why has Wikispaces closed?
Approximately 18 months ago, we completed a technical review of the infrastructure and software we used to serve Wikispaces users. As part of the review, it became apparent that the required investment to bring the infrastructure and code in line with modern standards was very substantial. We explored all possible options for keeping Wikispaces running but had to conclude that it was no longer viable to continue to run the service in the long term. So, sadly, we had to close the site - but we have been touched by the messages from users all over the world who began creating wikis with it and now running them on new platforms.

General Graphic Organizers Worksheets

Learning organization techniques should not be a chore, but rather a process that everyone should grasp, understand, and implement into their lives. For example, if you're someone who is unorganized when it comes to bills, more than likely you have a hard time getting them paid by the due date. Another example might be with school work. If you're a student and you don't have an organization structure in place for taking and storing notes, then chances are you don't do very well with taking tests.

Organization is truly a skill. As a teacher, organization is a critical factor to how your day will go. You should put a few hours of into thinking about how you can better organize yourself from the moment the alarm goes off until your head hits the pillow.

Being well organized will help students and teachers both be productive in and out of the classroom. You will eliminate stress, and save time by demonstrating organizational skills. Efficiency will take on a whole new meaning, and you will notice that you're more calm because your life won't seem so out of control.

Once you have yourself day organized it is time to look at how to better organize and focus your students. A great way to do this is first to look at your class from their eyes. What obstacles and challenges must they over come? What can you share with them that would make those obstacles not as tall of an order? You can help them learn to study.

Now look at your individual lessons. What can you do to make large amounts of information digestible? Easy, graphic organizers! You might have heard the old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words!" It surely is true. Helping students learn the ins and outs of graphic organizers are key. You should always assume that they have no idea what the organizer tells them. Take a minute to explain what you see and they should see too.

We offer tons of graphic organizer worksheets to help students learn the importance of organization in the academic world. The visual graphics help students to interpret information and to keep things in order. Whether you need to organize a paragraph or work with diagrams, we can help!

Graphic organizers are a helpful way to organize information. Graphic organizers:

1.Help one understand how things go together.

2.Help one generate ideas

3. Help one remember information better

4. Make it easier to write a final draft.

5. Help organize any type of writing.

I have had a wonderful experience with graphic organizers and used it as much as possible in my learning. Due to the strategic and thought provoking nature of graphic organizers, I have created many opportunities to use this approach. Students can also have a great experience using this approach. As highlighted above, graphic organizers help students see the relationship between ideas and concepts, generate ideas, aid in retention and forces coherency in writing. Graphic organizers are so multidimensional, that its structure and format can cater for the different modes of writing. There are a lot of different kinds of graphic organizers for different kinds of writing projects.

- good for writing directions of how to do something, or for keeping a lot of different ideas in catego ries.

Venn Diagrams - good for comparing things that are the same and different.

Due to the multiple merits of using graphic organizers, students can craft or create a specific purpose of their graphic organizers, based on the genre of writing. Researchers have highlighted the benefits of using this strategy as a prewriting strategy, but students can also use it as a means to summarize ideas, to see the connection between certain ideas, to make inferences and so much more.

After reading the recommended articles for this activity, I took the opportunity to contemplate on the multiple ways and means of using concept webs in my classroom. Graphic organizers scaffold students into a safe zone. It provides an ongoing support to the learner, thus permitting them to concentrate upon and complete only those elements that are within his/her range of concern. I view graphic organizers as a vehicle in which the driver, which is the student, can direct at a point where the connection of the ideas generated can achieve its set goal.

I see the value of all the graphic organizers, as they cater to all forms or modes of writing. My aim now, is to implement or use appropriate graphic organizers in my teaching based on the text provided. Students should then experience the universality of graphic organizers and how it can be applicable to areas across the curriculum (thus creating independent learners).
