Graphic organizers help learners categorize and organize their thoughts.Most graphic organizers form a powerful visual picture of information and allow the mind 'to see patterns and relationships. They can be as simple as a KWL, a T-chart, the storyboards you used for your movies or as complex as a mathematically relationship. We will look at a few of my favorite resources.
The Learning Curve has over 3 dozen graphic organizers. In their collection you will find PDFs for things like "Think, Pair, Share" and "Who, What, When, Where, Why" activities. You'll also find templates for designing stories and interviews.
