Organizer (Ellis, 1998) provides a good structure for drafting and representing your learning progression. A frame graphic essentially contains the following structures. Use the table below to create a Frame of a typical learning progression in the topic area you are focusing on in the course. In the top box, indicate the topic area. Define three levels of performance. Replace the labels inside the cells of the Framing Graphic with labels that fit your topic area. Use language that most meaningfully defines a learning progression in your topic area. Learning Progression Topic Area Frist Grade Reading Strategies

thoughts through this writing. Fluency: help students to practice reading smoothly and with expression. This will help them with comprehension. Predictions: teach students to make guesses about what will happen next in a story based on clues. Predictions must be reasonable. Inferences: teach students to combine their background knowledge with clues from the text to form a new idea similar to a prediction. Inferences must also be reasonable and able to happen. Use real world connections to aid with inferences. Vocabulary: choose possibly unfamiliar words. Have students help create a studentfriendly definition. Use the words in a sentence and add to vocabulary word wall to reference later.
