The Frayer model is a method to promote concept attainment. For someone to “know” something, he or she must be able to state the definition, state what it is in his or her own words, and list what it is not. The “What is it” box is the only one that is not in the reading per se. This box is designed to move us from knowledge thinking to comprehension. To deepen our understanding of formative assessment, read __"What is Formative Assessment?" - article.__ Read independently and fill in the model individually. Form groups of four, share your model and identify differences Processing Activity with Groups -- Mirror, Mirror Activity: Groups review each group member’s Frayer Model Groups highlight and point out the differences in the Frayer Models Groups report out on one similarity and one difference found in their Frayer Models Anchor activity: If you finish early, please review the examples of formative assessments in the handout packet.
