The students were very receptive to using the Concept Mastery Routine Device, and exceptionally attentive during each session. One challenge I encountered was keeping the diagram positioned and visible under the document camera so students could see as I wrote on the projected document. I was able to include all students in responses soliciting input during the lesson and fully participating in both completing their individual diagrams as well as offering verbal input. During subsequent sessions, I used the Testing Ground for examples, which I did not utilize during the initial session, and I also wrote the example and non-example statements as complete sentences.

Reflective Log

The students in our Co-Taught Language Arts class have come to like the Concept Diagram. When we introduced the class to the diagram the first time, they struggled to stay on topic and had difficulty understanding the diagram.  After we slowed down the pace and went back over the purpose and advantages of the diagram, they began to contribute more meaningfully to the creation of the diagram.  The students compete to offer the best examples and non-examples. We have used the diagram on two different topics this year.  Creating the diagram went more smoothly the second time.  The students understood what was needed and required less guidance and prompting.  Because we have seen the benefit for students, we plan to use the Concept Diagram more often.

I initially thought the Concept Mastery Routine was similar to other graphic organizers we'd used in the past.  However, upon starting the process, I saw this was a more intentional routine than just a way to organize information.  It triggered a way of thinking for our students.  Our first implementation was longer than the subsequent uses, which is to be expected.  The students (and we) became more adept with the process.

The Concept Diagram has been used with two different topics so far this school year.  The first time using the diagram took longer than expected and lesson plans had to be updated to allow additional time. The students were intimidated by the diagram and needed intense prompting and frequent encouragement while working with the diagram. After they saw how the diagram worked and how they got to participate in the creation of the diagram, they started to relax and learn from the process.  Both times, the students have found the diagrams to be fun to create and helpful in learning and remembering the concept presented in the diagrams. They especially enjoyed helping create the examples and non-examples. The interaction with the diagrams seems to be a great benefit to the students. The second time we used the concept diagram, the students were much more comfortable with the process and the work went much more smoothly.  In reflection, we believe that we need to better explain how the diagram works and the benefits of creating and using it.  The students, at least our current group, appear to need more prompting and guidance when first exposed to the concept diagram.  Finally, after using the diagram twice, we have realized several other topics that will be beneficial to use with the diagram.

The concept diagram went pretty well.  The first time it took us much longer to get through than we anticipated and some students started to tune out.  Once we were more comfortable with it, it went much quicker and smoother and students seemed to enjoy it more.  Students were able to then use the diagram throughout the unit to help them on assignments and to help them study.
