OPTIC A Strategy for Analyzing Graphics in a Structured Fashion

OPTIC is a strategy developed by College Board  for AP Vertical Team Work — — Designed to be used across the content areas and across grade levels

– Overview – Parts – Title/Topic – Interrelationships – Conclusion What is OPTIC? OPTIC is an organizational strategy particularly suited for analyzing visuals and graphics. It can also be used to analyze readings and multiple choice questions.

General Benefits to Using OPTIC 1. OPTIC is the reverse of concept mapping and allows students to organize information. 2. Guides students in understanding and analyzing graphs, pictures, figures, data tables, multiple choice questions, paragraphs. 3. Can be integrated with Bloom’s Taxonomy to generate questions on each level of cognitive ability.

Why do OPTIC for Science?   Many science questions involve graphs/figures standardized testing. Count how many question son the Periodic Assessments involve graphics.  1/3 of science questions involve graphs/figures on CST for science.

OPTIC for graphs Overview: What is your first impression of the graph? Parts: How many parts of the graph are there and what do they represent? Title: What is the title of the graph and what does it tell you about the graph? Interrelationships: What is going on in the graph? Conclusion: What is the graph trying to show us?

OPTICOPTICOPTICOPTIC

OPTIC for a multiple choice question Overview: Is there a chart, graph, written passage or picture that you need to use? Parts: What are the parts of the chart, graph, picture, or writing prompt? Topic: What is the question asking you about? Interrelationships: What will help you answer the question? Complete the Question

Using OPTIC Within a Larger Project During Labs –Students using OPTIC on graphs/data tables/figures that they have created during an experiment will help students better understand how to use a graph when analyzing their hypothesis. During Group/Individual Projects –Students are able to better organize information from many sources when completing a project or culminating task.
