The document discusses graphic organizers and their benefits for student learning. It defines graphic organizers as visual tools that help students understand and retain information by mapping out ideas. The document outlines how graphic organizers support cognitive functions like comparing and sequencing, as well as linguistic development. Specific graphic organizer templates are presented and explained, including circle maps, flow charts, and Frayer models. Factors that influence the effectiveness of graphic organizers, like implementation and consistency, are also discussed.

Take a piece of paper and number from 1-9. In triads, list as many as you can. Then ask the others at the table to share their list. Add anything you didn’t get. This keeps everyone responsible to participate not only in the brainstorming, but in the sharing out. • Focusing • Information-gathering • Remembering • Organizing • Analyzing • Generating • Integrating • Evaluating (Marzano)

Graphic organizers combine the linguistic mode and the nonlinguistic mode of communication by using words and phrases to highlight key points and symbols and arrows to represent relationships. Each graphic organizer arranges information differently and thus is more appropriate for some types of information than others.
Defining in context
Adjectives, no nouns!
A time/sequence pattern organizes events in a specific chronological order. For example, information about the development of the “race” to the South Pole can be organized as a time/sequence pattern and represented graphically as shown in Illustration 2.
Always begin with the event Example on p. 63 of Thinking Maps
