Product Description

Product Description
Think you can't see someone's thinking? Think again! This book reveals what happens when the normally private, hidden and undefined act of thinking is transformed into one that is public, available and explicit. "Thinking Skills & Eye Q" is a lexicon of visual tools - once tooled up, you can transform teaching and learning in your classroom. This book shows how to use 40 different visual tools to: infuse the teaching of the five National Curriculum Thinking Skills into subject teaching; develop writing skills in all six genres; show pupils how to be independent and creative thinkers and learners; make speaking and listening, questioning and responding an integral part of all lessons; and raise IQ.

From the Author
Thinking Skills and Eye Q is the first book in the new Model Learning Series. The new century’s demands on our students compel us to create new connections for new learning. Rigorous dispositions and effective tools will give us model learners. This series aims to answer that call.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only worth it for the last 10 pages., 28 Mar 2008
By Lilyfae (London) - See all my reviews
  
Sadly if you are a teacher and were well informed on your PGCE nothing in this book should be a surprise to you. Its a summary of educational research in a quirky diagram-heavy format which is supposed to be designed to be the best for readers, however, despite being a visual learner I found way too much complexity in presentation.

The pages are literally buzzing with diagrams, caricatures and notes which is alright when you've put them there yourself when annotating a text but is quite off-putting when you are trying to find a fixed point to begin on the page but your eyes are so entranced by the number of pictures to take in that you get a bit dizzy.

Once I found a strategy to absorb the content I was flipping through the book sighing 'duh' etc waiting for the real information on visual learners and how to support their learning styles to begin... then I hit the 'how to do the diagrams yourself' section aka appendices which is a good round up of different visual recording strategies from your bog-standard spider diagram to Venn Diagrams and the more complex.
This section is worth it as a refresher in ways to get your students to record information in different ways for different purposes, but the rest is nothing but a rehash of every other educational theory book I have read!

There are many ideas here and I hadn't come across them before - perhaps because I'm not a teacher.
I'd recommend it for anyone with masses of data, abstract concepts and a desire to learn effective ways to express themselves.
