Happy Bank Holiday weekend! Today we will continue to look at how we could use SOLO taxonomy to help us plan sequences of lessons. Last time, we looked at the different stages in SOLO taxonomy. Now we move on to look at what's called 'HOT Maps'. There are different maps, created by Pam Hook, which are graphic organisers to help students transfer their ideas and knowledge onto paper (or iPad!). Once students get used to using them, it's amazing how quickly they can transfer the skill across different subjects. All departments can use the same HOT maps, regardless of the knowledge being imparted to students.
First hotmap: Define
Second hotmap: Describe
Third map: Sequence
Fourth map: Classify
Fifth map: Cause and Effect
Sixth map: Compare and Contrast
Seventh map: Analysis
Eight map: Evaluation
Ninth map: Predict
Tenth map: Generalise
Below are three examples of teachers using SOLO hotmaps with their classes. Have a read!
