In today's classrooms, students must read, comprehend, and remember information from a wide variety of texts. Most students need to visually process information and Graphic Organizers are powerful tools that help them accomplish this.
Graphic Organizers are visual representations of a student's knowledge of concepts and topics. They provide a frame for teachers and students to visually identify important facts, organize information, and record relationships between facts and ideas.
Graphic Organizers help students:
- understand how pieces of information are related.
- increase their comprehension and recall.
- organize their observations, research, opinions, and reflections.
- prepare written assignments and presentations.
- problem solve and integrate their thinking, reading, and writing processes.
- practice higher level thinking skills and apply the skills to real-world situations
Graphic Organizers help teachers:
- explain and illustrate abstract concepts.
- focus students' attention on one part of the test while guiding them to see the overall sequence and interrelationships of the parts.
- provide second language learners with a visual image for new vocabulary and concepts.
- assist students with advance information and structure.
- review materials as a post-reading activity.
- evaluate student progress.
