After receiving the personal development in the FRAMing Routine on Auguse 19, 2005 by Ben Tickle, I began using it immediately in my English 8 classroom, and I have done so regularly since that date. Framing is an excellent method to utilize to take notes. It also aids students at capturing the main ideas of the notes instead of them trying to write down everything being covered.
Examples of topics on which I have used FRAMing are elements of fiction, descriptive language, what makes a good paragraph, and types of conflict to name a few.
Framing is a regular part of my instruction, and I have had students return from college telling me they used FRAMES to take notes in their classes, and it has benefitted them greatly.
A challenge I faced early on when implementing FRAMing into my classroom was to get the students to see its importance and its benefits. Another challenge was trying to get students to streamline their notes, copying the necessary and not absolutely everything. Doing so has aided them in being able to determine the main idea and summarize certain topics more easily.
Prior to receiving training in Paragraph and Theme Writing, I also used a modified version of the FRAME to aid students in organizing their writings.
