During a unit on voting and elections, fourth and fifth grade students used textmapping to identify known vocabulary words, words they didn't know, interesting information, and important information.
|
Each group of students had a different chapter of a book on voting, with the charge that they would share with the rest of the class whatever important information they learned from their specific chapter. |

|
In this assignment, students were asked to use a color code -- yellow for words they didn't know, pink for words they already had learned, green underlining for interesting information, and orange boxes for important information. |
