4. Use the Frame Routinely

Review for test

We implemented this routine with a group of 6th grade math students. We used this to review for their upcoming test on sequences and patterns. We were very impressed with the response from our students.

The Framing Routine in English 11

In English 11, the Framing Routine graphic organizer has been beneficial for note-taking, summarizing fiction and non-fiction texts, and also for organizing the steps of the writing process.

When reviewing short stories, students are able to remember key points and main ideas by use of the graphic organizer. The frames are adaptable to a variety of lessons as demonstrated in our Rhetorical Appeals lesson posted. We used the 3 main ideas frame and found examples of the 3 appeals (ethos, logos, and pathos) from a specific piece of literature (Letter from Birmingham Jail by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.). There are a variety of frames available with different numbers of main idea spaces to fit into many lesson plans.

Routine Use

We have successfully used the frame in our math classes. Our students had some difficulty making it their own at the beginning; however, they are much more invested in the process now. When we started using the frames, they consisted of long definitions and descriptions. We have found that keeping it short and simple is much more effective.

We often use pictures instead of words. This has simplified the process and has made the use of framing more accommodating for students who struggle with note taking. We often use a frame for study guides for tests. We have a difficult time getting students to review their notes before a test. The use of a frame has condensed this to a single page in which to study from. We feel this has been the most effective use of the framing routine for our students. However, we continue to mix it up and use it at the beginning of a unit or even build it throughout the unit. Our students have been very receptive to the use, and are engaged and actively participating during its use.
