I worked with a 6th grade Language Arts teacher to create a Concept Diagram for her Folk Tales unit. I initially described the diagram and it's purposes and uses. Then the 6th grade teacher chose a specific topic that she wanted to use for the diagram. We used the step-by-step guidelines in the manual as we completed the diagram. We discussed the definition that she wanted to complete the diagram with and used that to help guide the vocabulary for inclusion in the Always, Sometimes, and Never characteristics. The teacher enjoyed the process and worked the use of the diagram into her weekly plans.
