Saturday, October 30, 2004 Read Write Think Part II Alphabet Organizer
Another of the ReadWriteThink Student Materials that could prove useful in the middle school setting is the Alphabet Organizer. This tool appears to be designed for teaching early grade word meaning and reading skills. In middle school, much emphasis is placed on organizing skills. Students have a daily planner which the teacher tries to get them to use to keep track of what their assignments are and when they are due, upcoming quizzes and tests, permission slips due, parent teacher conferences to schedule etc.
Middle school students might try using the Alphabet Organizer to create a file drawer for each category of information that they need to track. For example, a page to track science assignments would be in the S drawer. Things like permission slips and remembering the magazine sales tasks might be entered in a calendar sheet stored in the C drawer. Students could learn that there are various ways to organize their personal information, some more useful than others.
