Graphic organizers

Many students are visual learners thus, a visual approach to brainstorming or organizing information is important (www.teacch.com). Graphic Organizers are visual representations that may help students organize and highlight essential information.

This is a valued approach in teaching and learning as it makes the learning more active and meaningful . Above is an example of a graphic organizer that we used for when assigning book reports. It highlighted pertinent aspects of the book they chose to read. We found this graphic organizer to be most useful for many students as it made the process of comprehending the book in a more orderly fashion. Are there any graphic organizers you may have used in the classroom that you found beneficial? Please share below-Penny and Angelik!
