Frayer Model

Frayer Models are graphic organizers that allow the students to uncover Academic Vocabulary. You can include anything that you want the students to write about.

How I Use Frayer Models:

• This is great for English Language Learners (ELLs) because Writing is one of the components they need to practice. They can even read what they have written to the other students in their group, which addresses the Reading, Listening, and Speaking components, because they are reading their responses, saying what they wrote, then listening to the other students in their groups.
• This is a good center activity.
• Exit Ticket - Have students create their own Frayer Models on a Post-It Notes.

The Frayer Model generally has 4 sections and a Concept Word in the middle.  See two examples that I use in my Math Class. I just changed "Non-Example" to "Illustration" depending on the Concept Word. If you click on the captions below each Frayer Model, you can save a copy to your Google Drive. They were created in Google Slides.
