Sail the Voyage of Literacy Strategies Through Anchor charts: P Make thinking permanent and visible P Allow connections from one strategy to another P Clarify a point P Build on earlier learning P Provide visual cues to develop independence (Debbie Miller, 2002) Information on anchor charts may be in complete sentences or point form and may include: *definitions *examples *explanations *strategies Anchor charts contain the students’ ideas. As learners continue to add their thinking to the charts, they use them as tools for thinking and learning. Learning can be scaffolded by creating and displaying anchor charts. (Harvey and Goudvis, 2000) They are displayed in the classroom in order to provide a visual resource for the students. (Linda Hoyt, 2005) Students become more responsible for their learning by referring to these charts when necessary and using them as tools for accessing learning. (Linda Hoyt, 2005) For samples of anchor charts created collaboratively with teachers and students in our district, view the upcoming slides. For further samples of anchor charts created collaboratively with students in our district, check out the link “Anchor Chart Examples”on the primary page of the program website. To watch a brief 10 minute video displaying a teacher and her grade 3 students creating an anchor chart on small moment writing, click the link “Anchor Chart Video Clip”on the primary page of the program website.
