Organise Ideas: Thinking by Hand, Extending the Mind

The central purpose of this book is to help teachers organiseideas through the use of graphic organisers.
Over 35 such word-diagrams are: organised into a systemto help select the right tool for the job; described for rapidunderstanding of their strengths; and explained for step-bystepconstruction.
More than 50 teachers each have a double-page spread inwhich they reveal how they use them in their teaching --across the full age range and span of subjects. A further section of the book demonstrates how to use these word diagramsmost effectively by partnering them with otherteaching strategies, such as retrieval practice, writing,speaking and listening, teacher explanations, advanceorganisers, scaffolding, remote learning and more.
The pages are illustrated to the same quality and quantity inOliver's previous book, Dual Coding with Teachers, its naturalcompanion. A must-have textbook for every teacher thattranscends contemporary ideological allegiances and fads.
