Data Retrieval Charts & teachinghistory.org

I wrote about data retrieval charts for teachinghistory.org. Data retrieval charts clearly work with how my brain functions and I love to use them with students.

Including pictures in our data retrieval charts is something that is fairly new to me. To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed in myself that it took me this long to realize how helpful this would be for my students. I use pictures - ones I draw, photographs, clip art, illustrations, anything I can - in so many ways in my classroom I can't believe I was limiting our data retrieval charts to all text. Sigh.
