HOT SOLO Analyse Map
HOT SOLO Part Whole Analysis Map
What is it?
The HOT SOLO Analyse (part/whole) map and self assessment rubric is used to analyse an object (or an idea) by identifying the constituent parts and determining the purpose and thus importance of each part to the whole.
How do I use it?
1. Align the HOT SOLO Analyse Map and self assessment rubric with the identified learning intention. For example, we are learning to analyse [content] [context].
2. Identify the idea or object to be analysed and place it on the map.
3. List the relevant parts of the whole. These parts can be represented by text, images, photos, drawings etc.
4. Taking each part in turn, explain what would happen to the whole if one of the parts were missing or damaged. Record all possibilities.
5. Make a generalisation about the purpose/function of each part to the whole based on the explanations. E.g. Overall … because … because
6. Evaluate the respective contributions of the parts to the function of the whole.
7. Make a generalisation about the relevant parts and the whole. E.g. Overall I think … because …. because …”
8. Share the success criteria for analysis in the HOT SOLO analysis (part whole) rubric.
9. With reference to the success criteria, students create an analysis statement using relevant parts and the target vocabulary from the completed HOT SOLO analyse (part whole) map. These statements can be written, oral or an annotated drawing. This process is iterative and can be repeated whenever new learning occurs enabling the causal explanation statements to be improved.
10. Students self assess/peer assess and seek teacher feedback on their analysis statements.
11. Students assess their learning outcome for the identified learning intention against the SOLO levels, explain why they have chosen this level of learning outcome for their work (feedback) and suggest where to next steps (feed up).
12. Record this in a student learning log.
