educational materials for Grades PreK-12, will present a thought-provoking
session today at the National Middle School Association's (NMSA) Annual

differentiated instruction for Texas students in Grades 6-12.

In the session, Ms. Zike will get teachers excited about involving adolescents
in active learning by exploring the use of 3-D graphic organizers. She'll show
how these organizers can become powerful, tactile rechargeable tools to
immerse adolescents in cross-curricular literacy and vocabulary development,

intelligences. Ms. Zike will share numerous examples of how 3-D graphic
organizers can be used to motivate and engage middle and high school students.

through high interest literature and nonfiction presented through
inquiry-based Big Questions and Big Ideas, and Foldables activities give
students a reason and a tool for taking notes as they explore each unit."
