Frayer model

A Frayer model pins down a key word in four boxes: what it means, what it is like, examples and non-examples.

The real slide Chalk makes, in the Classroom look. Every word is written for your lesson when you use it.

How to run it

  1. Fill the definition together.
  2. Pupils add characteristics, examples and non-examples.
  3. Share the best non-examples: they show where the idea stops.

Why it works

Non-examples next to examples make the edges of an idea clear, which a definition alone does not.
