Using information wheels in lessons is a wonderful way of giving our students the opportunity to learn through, among other learning styles, kinesthetic interaction. They’ll be pulling from past knowledge, using deductive reasoning, negotiating meaning, and learning new subject matter, all at the same time. Studies showthat learning is enhanced when students acquire knowledge through active processes that engage them. Literacy is a combination of recognising and matching oral and written language. The most effective ways of promoting literacy is to make vocabulary visibleand to create high encounters with these words for your students – in interactive ways. Using wheels to scaffold vocabulary before you read a story can help. Below you’ll see how you can help your students to match words with images with an information wheel. information wheel.
The scaffold is based on the positive transference theory which is when learners use past experiences to affect learning and performance in a new situation; they transfer knowledge from one place to another. Creating opportunities for this in the classroom gives students the opportunity to develop this skill, thus helping them to become more self-sufficient and effective learners. With Information Wheels, students use positive transfer skills to fill in holes, make educated connections and correct their own work in the moment.
We use here an example from the wonderfully imaginative and beautifully illustrated book I Miss You, Stinky Faceby Lisa McCourt.
