This version of StudyWhiz targets students in Grades 7 – 10+. It includes the same activities as the StudyWhiz for students in Grades 4 – 6, with more mature icons, in addition to several additional features such as learning rubrics, "doing it right" practice sheets, talking points, and journals.
This book takes the organization of ideas introduced in the StudyWhiz for younger students to a higher level of application. Where the StudyWhiz for students in Grades 4 –6 is intended to help students model the MindFrames, this version helps students apply each MindFrame as appropriate and link them together into a coherent whole.
Used appropriately, this StudyWhiz is an information management system that enhances memory and transfer. It invites personal decision-making, self-assessment and expression.
From the Inside Flap
StudyWhiz jump starts student learning potential.
StudyWhiz is a learning system that helps students unravel the mystery of how subject matter is organized so that they can learn it more efficiently and effectively. The central message of StudyWhiz is that students who practice being more thoughtful about their schoolwork will not only become more efficient learners but will also increase their capacity to learn additional material.
This system guides students through MindFrames,namely Previewing, Naming, Connecting, Recapping, Constructing, Self-Testing and Reflecting. Each MindFrame is a stage of learning, a specific way in which the mind frames new material as it learns. MindFrames work powerfully to help students reduce gaps in knowledge, focus attention, enhance memory and create different ways to make sense of schoolwork.
StudyWhiz helps students highlight the connectedness and relevance of ideas. Using StudyWhiz, students can build confidence and ability.
