This very cool op-chart was published in the December 27, 2009 New York Times.
I could see students using this as a model for the last ten years in their life, their school's history, or as a series of "learning" logs about the things and people they learned from in a Math class, or new vocabulary they learned in a foreign language class ... very versatile model for a wide range of visual assignments....
This is great! It's kind of a new take on the picture dictionary...maybe instead of years, students could use it as a new vocab study guide by replacing the "years" columns with easy to hard...or figure out their own way to categorize the words that appeals to their different intelligences.
