  13. Using multiple graphic organizers • By using multiple graphic organizers, you are offering students ways to organize, categorize, and make sense of the content in a way best for them. • You could provide a variety of graphic organizers for students to use (they select which ones) OR you can have students create their own

  14. Graphic Organizers to Graphic Organizers • Taking a concept or an academic task and breaking it down to a graphic organizer, may need to be done many times • For example, when students are writing an essay, they could use a graphic organizer to write out their thoughts, but before that, they could use a graphic organizer to organize the big ideas, and before that, they could use a graphic organizer to pull big ideas from text / lecture

  15. Creating your own graphic organizers • Alone or with a partner or group, select a topic you may teach in your classroom. • Develop at least three graphic organizers (with language embedded!) on this topic • If you think graphic organizers can be used in steps, develop each of those as well
