Wordfields are arranged
according to associative
items.
Here also structures are
included – when they can be
linked
with the same semantic
field. Students are asked to
remember the
Wordfields the
same way as they are lay-
outed in the book.
Semantic strategy - Pictorial schemata
Creating grids or diagrams is another semantic strategy. Whether they are teacher- or student-
generated grids, these visual devices help students distinguish the differences between similar
words and set up memory traces of the specific occurrence.
Scales or clines, Venn diagram,
and tree diagrams are especially interesting for group work when
teachers present words for
these pictorial schemata in scrambled order. Students are then asked to unscramble the words
by putting them in a logical order.
Scale or cline:
Arrange in order from happy to sad: upset, pleased, overjoyed,
broken-hearted, indifferent
Venn diagram:
Illustrate how “slide” or “glide” are different.
Tree diagram:
Classify the parts of preservation.
These semantic techniques ask students to deeply process words by organizing them and
making their meanings visual and more concrete.
