Frayer Model
Visible Learning Strategy - The Frayer Model (a concept map) - this is a writing and organizational tool used to build student vocabulary and understanding of conceps. This technique requires students to define target vocabulary and apply their knowledge by generating examples and non-examples, giving characteristics, drawing a picture to illustrate the meaning of the word, or other applications. This leads to more retention of concepts and transfer of information from one learning experience to another.
