Graphic Organizers are useful educational tools in any subject area. They help students organize their thoughts and ideas for answering questions, function as a pre-writing tool for essays, and provide a visual display of information. They can be an easy way to differentiate instruction for a variety of learning styles as well.
Teach students how to use the graphic organizer you’ve chosen for the activity. Explicitly explain the situations in which certain Graphic Organizers are used and why they are effective for use at those times.
2. PracticeGive students time to practice using various Graphic Organizers. While one student may find T-charts especially helpful, another student might prefer Venn diagrams.
3. UseAfter exposing your students to several different types of Graphic Organizers and showing them the proper ways to use these organizers, you’ve given them a chance to find a new tool that they can use on their own for future projects.
Use Graphic Organizers at any point in the lesson to structure information into understandable chunks:
