GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
Below is a list of ideas on how to use graphic organizers.
A graphic organizer tailored to a specific reading assignment in a content area
textbook, such as science or civics can used the to take notes. The notes can be
used as discussion starters in the content area class or as study guides for an
upcoming test or quiz.
Graphic organizers can be used as alternatives to book reports. Graphic
organizers can be created for comparing characters, identifying the setting,
mapping out the plot, etc.
Graphic organizers can used to
organize thoughts during brainstorming or pre-writing exercises.
Graphic organizers can be used to create the rough draft of a writing
assignment.
