The GRP is designed to help students learn how to organize and make meaningful large amounts of information they read and study. The reason that such a general purpose is given is that the intent of the GRP is to teach students how to set their own purposes and how to organize the information for themselves. The GRP differs from the LEA in that dictation does not record exactly what was said. Instead of relating speech to print as in the LEA, the purpose of the dictation in the GRP is to get a quick written record of everything recalled. Editor - Makes corrections, additions, changes, etc. contributed by team members after checking their free recall against the text.
Organizer -Organizes the information recalled into categories or outline form.
Designer - Creates a Graphic Organizer that uses key words to summarize the concepts and ideas the team members want to record and use later as a reference. Since you have already read these pages, I will give you about 5 minutes to skim them without taking notes. When you finish, close your books. Call out anything you can remember, especially the things you think are important. For younger children or poor readers and writers, the teacher usually records the dictated free recall.
