Analyzing Used to show the interaction of a complex event (an election, a nuclear explosion) or complex phenomenon (juvenile delinquency, learning disabilities). Key frame questions: What are the factors that cause X? How do they interrelate? Are the factors that cause X the same as those that cause X to persist? (NCREL, 1988) See: Web, CerebralChart, Network Tree, Spider Map, & Problem/Solution Outline




Analyzing Used to describe a central idea: a thing (a geographic region), process (meiosis), concept (altruism), or proposition with support (experimental drugs should be available to AIDS victims). Key frame questions: What is the central idea? What are its attributes? What are its functions? (NCREL, 1988) See: Web, CerebralChart, Network Tree, & Fishbone Map

Site Map - A list of all the pages with annotations, yes, all of the pages on this site.

Teachers - Make sure you check out the Assignments section which provides exercises, projects, support resources, and rubrics.


Quotes - New links and lots of new quotes about life, art, and philosophy.

Historical and Cultural Context - provides an overview of art movements and the context in which they developed. We have not covered every movement or period, rather selected snippets to help provide students with an opportunity to explore the elements that have influenced other artists in their quest for expressing personal voice. As with all of our work, this site remains a work in progress.



Wow, validation.
