Process Grid
WHY DO IT: The Process Grid is a grid with categories across the top and down the side and is in the Guided Oral Practice component. This strategy helps students categorize information and then later to compare and contrast differing rows of information. Positive interdependence within teams is a critical aspect of the process grid “game.” Teachers can develop the grid depending on the writing style they want to teach (cause and effect, sequencing, etc.) because this grid is most effective used as a scaffold for expository writing.
