What is GLOBE?
GLOBE is an explicit instruction strategy that facilitates student learning by highlighting key concepts and big ideas, making connections, eliciting questions, and scaffolding knowledge.
Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education
Get Focused
Teacher State the Key Concept and
connect this concept to what students have previously studied.
State the Challenge Question that the students will be able to answer by the end of the lesson.
Students Record the Key Concept on
their graphic organizer. Discuss the challenge
question with their peers and suggest possible answers.
The Challenge Question relates directly to the lesson’s objectives. This question activates students’ thinking and focuses learning.

List Big Ideas
Teacher Explain 3-5 Big Ideas, or
main characteristics, that define the Key Concept.
After presenting the first Big Idea, model the process of making connections.
Use visual, auditory, and/or tactile aides to enhance presentation.
Students Record Big Ideas on graphic
organizer. Draw connections between
each Big Idea and a personal association. Students’ connections may differ.
Record connections on graphic organizer.
Big ideas are main characteristics or categories that define the key concept. Big ideas often translate across content areas.

Elements of Nonfiction

Comparison and Contrast
Teasing my brother-getting in trouble
Going to the doctor
Two friends with similarities and differences

Organize Essential Questions
Teacher Model how to form an essential
question. These questions transcend the Big Ideas and help students synthesize the information.
Circulate, monitor students’ discussions, and provide feedback.
Regroup the whole class to identify up to five essential questions from the students’ brainstormed lists.
Determine protocol for answering essential questions.
Students Work cooperatively to brainstorm
questions about the Key Concept. Record essential questions
identified through the whole group discussion.
Depending upon the lesson, students may search for answers to the essential questions via textbook, articles, web quests, field trip, etc. All of the questions do not need to be answered during this lesson.
Essential Questions promote higher-level thinking and require more than a “yes”, “no” or single-word answer.

Cause and Effect
Problem and Solution
Comparison and Contrast
Teasing my brother, getting in trouble
Going to the doctor
Two friends with similarities and differences
How can understanding nonfiction elements help me when I read?Why would an author use one element instead of another?
How can I use these elements in my writing?

Build a Summary
Teacher Lead whole group to build a
short Summary Statement that answers the daily challenge question.
The Summary Statement includes the Key Concept and Big Ideas and may also address selected essential questions.
Students Participate in the whole
group discussion. Record Summary Statement
on the graphic organizer.
Some students may benefit from partial note-taking assistance. For these students, provide a graphic organizer with a partially completed Summary Statement. For example: “Nonfiction is written differently from fiction, because ____”

How can I use these elements in my writing?
Nonfiction is written differently from fiction, because writers use elements like cause and effect, problem and solution, and comparison and contrast to organize information. Understanding these elements helps me make predictions as I read.

Evaluate and Celebrate
Teacher Assess student learning. Review essential questions
yet to be answered and provide a preview of learning to come. (What’s next?)
Explain how the homework assignment directly relates to the day’s lesson.
Students Reflect on individual learning
by asking, “Can I answer the Challenge Question?”
Complete assessment activity.
In addition to checking the students’ GLOBE organizers, teachers can assess comprehension by using an exit slip or thumbs up/thumbs down survey.

GLOBE Examples: Across the content areas
Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education
Branches of the U.S. Government
How do the branches of the U.S. government function?
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
The principal runs the school
Parents make the rules at home
A baseball umpire makes calls
What is the system of checks and balances? How does the system ensure there is no abuse of power? Is one branch stronger than another? How are members of each branch chosen?
Each of the 3 branches of the U.S. government has a function. The executive branch administers (runs) the government. The legislative branch writes laws. The judicial branch decides if laws are constitutional. The system of checks and balances ensures no branch has too much power. Yes!

States of Matter
How are gases, liquids and solids different and alike?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
A marble
Lemonade
Steam
How can you tell if something is a liquid, gas or solid? What happens when matter in each state is placed in a container? How do the particles of a solid, liquid and gas behave differently?
Matter can take the form of a solid, liquid, or gas. A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but it takes the shape of the container. A gas fills the entire volume of a container. The particles in a gas are spread out, in a liquid they are closer together, and in a solid they are packed together.
Yes!

Integers
How can the value of integers be compared?
Positive Integers
Zero
Negative Integers
Being given $5 for allowance
The ground floor of a building
A 5 yard penalty in football
What numbers are considered integers? When do I use positive and negative integers in daily life? What are some examples of positive and negative integers? How can I tell which integer is larger?
Integers are the set of positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers and zero. To determine which number is larger or smaller, graph the integers on a number line. The farther to the right a number is on the number line the more positive (or larger) it is.
Yes!

How to Implement GLOBE
Review your curriculum indicators and objectives Create a Teacher Sample
• Identify Key Concept, Challenge Question, Big Ideas• List potential Connections, Essential Questions, and
Summary Statement• Determine Assessment Activity
Review Class Profile Matrix and plan implementation of accommodations
Consider use of visual, auditory, and/or tactile aids to enhance teacher presentation and student exploration
Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education
Team Activity
Develop a GLOBE graphic organizer for the Key Concept “Principles of Effective Collaboration”.Big Ideas:• Respect of Knowledge/Skill• Established Communication System• Common Understanding of the Classroom Environment• Co-Accountability
Be prepared to share with the whole group.

Evaluating GLOBE Implementation How do teachers know if the implementation of the GLOBE
strategy was effective? GLOBE Look-fors
• Key Concept and Big Ideas relate directly to the curriculum and are clearly defined
• Challenge Question keys students in to important information and sparks thinking
• Students actively participate by drawing connections and formulating questions
• Summary statement demonstrates attainment of the lesson objectives
• Teacher connects previous learning and future learning with GLOBE strategy activities
