When this graphic organizer is
implemented into instruction, it
is acceptable for the students to
add information at the different
levels. If there are more than two
ideas or details at power 2 that
support the identified main idea in
power 1, this is fine. The students
need to understand that the Power
Thinking template is malleable. As
teachers we need to place greater
emphasis on the students’ thinking
and their ability to organize information
in a hierarchy rather than
on completing the template as it is
exactly presented.
Another important consideration
for power thinking is the notion that
there ismore than one way to organize
information Individual thinking
always varies. Instead of emphasizing
one particular answer, we need
to focus on the process of thinking
in arranging, organizing, and representing
information.
When the students work on the Power Thinking organizer, I like to have them in groups of three students or in pairs. As we
progress through the different levels of the organizer, the students can discuss points of information or details to include.
This approach naturally shifts the focus: this becomes less a teacher-directed activity and more
