A graphic organizer (aka a map OR word web) is usually a one-page
form with blank areas for the student to fill in with related ideas and information.

  • Some organizers are very specific; others can be used with many topics.

  • The information on a graphic organizer could just as easily be filled in on a form or written as a list.

  • The organizer gives students another way to see the information.

  • Some organizers allow for the information to be written or drawn,
    opening the activity up to younger grades.

  • When your class uses an organizer for the first time, it is best that a sample organizer be drawn on the board for the class to fill in together.
    • If you have a projector/lite pro available, it would be optimal to walk students through the steps of filling out the organizer using the computer.

    • This also gives the opportunity for children to understand that sometimes there might be more answers than there are spaces on the organizer.

  • Graphic organizers can be used to reinforce topics from any subject.

    Enjoy!
