Writing with the PRISM Framework

This is something I found intriguing to explore. It arose from a suggestion from a former colleague. I had let the idea sit for a while, then thought about making the connection to the PRISM Framework.

What is the PRISM Framework?

The PRISM Framework (adapted from Biggs’ the SOLO Taxonomy as a way to help me think through ideas) offers a structured approach to critical thinking and problem-solving. It guides students through five essential stages:

  • Patterns: Identifying recurring themes or structures.
  • Reasoning: Connecting ideas logically.
  • Ideas: Generating innovative perspectives.
  • Situation: Exploring broader contexts.
  • Methods: Testing and refining conclusions.

Use PRISM to scaffold students as they move from surface-level understanding to deeper critical analysis. Having a framework like PRISM can assist students in moving beyond beginning stages of writing.

Empower your students to craft compelling arguments with the PRISM Framework. It offers a step-by-step guide to persuasive writing.
