1. Message from Sonya 08/06/09 Downloaded from http://ulimasao.wikispaces.com/ These maps are my thinking in process and where I am currently on the SOLO journey. They use some of the outlines from the HOT team, the adjectives from http://www.tlc.murdoch.edu.au/gradatt/objectivesLearning.html team, The thinking maps ideas from David Hyerle’s site.David Hyerle’s I have also used the organisation chart tool in PowerPoint This download is subjected to change as I learn. I will add other maps as I use them. I also know that I should have the rubric accompanying them- that is up to you to co-construct with your learners. The Hot team have a master rubric and each school in the Sustain ed cluster has received them. If you wish to use what I have adapted in class- no problems with me, but I do ask that you email me a sample of what you do with them. Please do not put them up live, add a link to my wiki. If you have any suggestions that will help me on my SOLO journey, please flick me an email.
