Judith Fontana came from GMU to meet with me on Sept 28.  We reviewed the different formats to a FRAME, how a FRAME can fit into both review and instruction, and how students can contribute to creating and using a FRAME.

I enjoyed learning the Framing routine and look forward to implementing it in English classes this school year to enhance student learning.  I am especially excited to use the framing routine when teaching pre-writing in order to help students to brainstorm and organize information prior to writing their rough drafts.  I will be implementing this strategy early in the school year and will continue to utilize it as we prepare our students for their reading and writing SOL's.

Training was September 21, 2017. It seems to mirror our 5 box graphic organizer that students use.

Marie EckenrodeFraming Routine ReflectionSeptember 22, 2017
I found that using the framing routine for the first time was highly successful and helpful in teaching the main idea and detail skills to my first grade inclusion class yesterday.  After reading and viewing pictures and text in a poster from our new reading program, we completed our first frame.  I had planned to do so using our SmartBoard. However, the lamp in our projector stopped working during the morning announcements.  We quickly improvised and made our frame on our rolling easel.  We began by introducing the frame and what the sections stand for.  Then we began with the topic, light sources.  The “is about” section gave a definition of what light is.  The students did well understanding the concepts of the main ideas: natural and artificial light.When it came time to complete the essential details under the main idea the sun was the first choice.  They remembered it being mentioned in the poster and new that from prior background knowledge.  It took a few hints discussing day and night but then they were able to think of some more.  One student came up with lightning. I was happy to see that extension of thinking because it’s not a source of light that we see every day.  Artificial sources of light seemed to be a  bit easier for them to come up with ideas.  Lightbulbs, fire and candle were listed in the frame.  They also came up with several additional things that have fire, such as fireworks, sparklers, firepits,etc.  I like how this frame brings everything together at the end so the students can see the importance of the concept and bring thebig picture together.  They knew that light is important because it helps us to see.  Without it our lives would be very difficult.

Created a Frame for Rate of Change.  This frame and others will be used in AFDA.

Frame Reflection

The framing routine not only gives students an organized way to take notes about a topic but it also includes the so what? section giving students a purpose for learning.  I think the frame is a valuable tool for students in all subject areas.

I participated in the Adobe Meeting for our SIM training on the FRAME on Thursday, August 24, 2017

Our students will benefit greatly from constructing Frames on curriculum topics.  The Frame will help them understand new key topics and what is important about them. ThenIt allows them to build a foundation for learning more information at a deeper level.  I like how in training, we chunked the graphic organizer.  We divided the Frame into three manageable sections.  I plan on doing it that way with my students.  It is vital to create these Frames with our students.  This interactive process is conducive to purposeful class discussions.  Framing is a simple, yet powerful tool.

FRAME routine -This summer my co-teacher and I attended the Excellence in Co-teaching Institute in Richmond on July 19, 2017.

This summer my co-teacher and I attended the Excellence in Co-teaching Institute in Richmond on July 19, 2017. I was trained on how to utilize the Frame routine. This is a new strategy that is designed to help students as they organize topics when learning about the key topic and related information that goes along with it. We used the Frame routine to help introduce place value into our third graders curriculum. It was a good way to help students understand and learn key information. It also helped students focus in on relationships on main ideas and details. I used the frame routine technique as a visual device when teaching a lesson on place value that helped my students understand and recall the key topic as well as all of the associated details that went along with the key topic. My students focused attention on the importance behind the key topic while also being able to identify the main ideas related to the key topic. My first strategy when teaching place value was to model numbers in various ways by using base ten blocks. For example I told my students “the ones are represented by individual squares, ten ones makes a group of ten also known as a “stick”, ten tens make a group of one hundred also known as a “flat”, and ten one hundreds makes a group of one thousand also known as a “3-dimensional cube.” After being able to review and identify the place value of the number we reviewed how to represent different numbers with base ten blocks by actually building the number. We started with smaller numbers then gradually worked our way up. We also taught them a little tune to remember in their head starting at the ones place and going all the way to the one hundred thousands place. We found that by asking students to represent numbers with concrete objects or pictures and carefully examine their use, it gives an insight into their conceptions. Once the students were able to grasp the understanding of place value we were able to put our Frame routine together with out key topic, main ideas, essential details and most importantly our “So what statement”. We told them that one important thing to learn about place value is knowing how certain  numbers work can help you use them.

I completed the training on September 13, 2011.

Frames are used regularly in our classroom to introduce lessons.  Frames are used to get students ready for the new topic of study.  I do my best to have most of the information filled in for the students.  Students co-construct frames in order to help them be better prepared to learn the new material.  They highlight the important information, fill in the missing vocabulary, and even solve math problems to coincide with the topic at hand.  This gives the students a GREAT introduction, as well as a good resource for reviewing material later.  The students in our classroom know the expectation of completing a frame.  They know what to highlight, how to fill in the important information, and even how to use the space wisely when solving math problems.  Our students use their frames in class when working on classwork to reinforce concepts learned.  Frames are very useful in math!!

Framing Routine September 2015

I completed my professional development in the Framing Routine in August 2017.

As a teacher at Central Academy Middle School , a SIM/CLC demonstration site I have had ample opportunities to use the Framing Routine.  For years, the Framing Routine has been used to introduce each new concept in our units of study.  I have found it to be a beneficial tool for all students, especially the students with disabilities, as it organizes information and is a valuable study tool.  Co-constructing the Frame enables students to interact with the material and provides them with a structured outline of important information.
