    The Fish Bone is a graphic organizer that helps students identify and analyze causes and effects. It is commonly used in problem solving. The Fish Bone diagram has a head in the shape of a fish with the problem/effect written inside. Major bones extend from the head with categories of potential causes written at the end. Students then brainstorm specific causes within each category. They analyze which causes are most likely and rank them to determine the top three choices. Presenting arguments and collecting additional data can further develop the analysis. The Fish Bone provides opportunities for students to organize their thinking, listen to others' ideas, and use evaluative thinking skills to analyze problems.

    Fish Bone (FB)

    Description
    The Fish Bone is a graphic organizer designed to help students identify separate
    causes and effects. The Fish Bone is a thinking tool commonly used in business by
    problem-solving teams to identify possible causes of a problem. The Fish Bone can be
    used when looking at possible options when planning a course of action or in analyzing
    the cause of a particular consequence, result, or effect.
    Procedure
    Step One: In the head of the fish, write the Effect/Problem.
    Step Two: At the end of each major bone, ask students for categories of possible
    causes. Some possible categories are machine, method, materials, manpower.
    Step Three: Off the major bones, write the possible causes suggested by students. As
    students volunteer ideas of possible causes, ask them to identify the category into
    which their idea falls. Record their ideas on the organizer. Do not judge student
    responses.
    Following a full class discussion, allow students to argue placement of the ideas and to
    make changes. If placement of an idea is difficult, students may list an item in as many
    categories as needed.
    Step Four: After the class discussion, have each student select three items from the
    total list that he or she believes are the most likely causes of the problem. Have each
    student rank their selections. Students form groups to compile a list of causes. Allow
    groups to discuss which items from the list are most important. After the discussion,
    each group selects the three causes they thought were the most likely. Each student is
    allowed to vote three times. The votes are tallied to determine the top three choices.
    Each group prepares an argument to support the selection of the three causes and then
    presents its argument to the class. A whole class discussion follows the presentations to
    discuss the differences in the conclusions. Have each group decide how it would gather
    factual data to support its cause-effect selection. The plan should describe what data
    they would collect and how they would collect it.
    Link to Outcomes
    Students visualise consequences, think laterally, recognise opportunity and potential
    and are prepared to test options.
    Dynamic Strategies
    Conduct/Organisation
    Thinking Skills
    Helps students organize their thoughts as they analyze causes and effects.
    Provides opportunities for students to use evaluative thinking skills.

    Requires students to listen to other ideas, synthesize information, and take a position on
    an issue.
    Tips
    As students become more comfortable using the Fish Bone, elicit discussions that
    encourage students to talk about why they made certain decisions, how they organized
    their thinking, and which parts of their thinking were more precise.
    The use of charts or other visual aids allow teachers to demonstrate relationships
    between ideas and concepts. Teachers should use visual displays in the lessons and
    assignments to support the oral or written message. The provision of additional
    contextual information in the form of a visual should make the comprehension task
    easier.
