GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

Slide 2: 

Graphic organizers (some of which are also called concept maps, entity relationship charts, and mind maps) are a pictorial way of constructing knowledge and organizing information. They help the student convert and compress a lot of seemingly disjointed information into a structured, simple-to-read, graphic display. The resulting visual display conveys complex information in a simple-to-understand manner.

Increasing Understanding by Creating Graphic Organizers: : 

The process of converting a mass of data/information/ideas into a graphic map gives the student an increased understanding and insight into the topic at hand. To create the map, the student must concentrate on the relationships between the items and examine the meanings attached to each of them. While creating a map, the student must also prioritize the information, determining which parts of the material are the most important and should be focused upon, and where each item should be placed in the map. The creation of graphic organizers also helps the student generate ideas as they develop and note their thoughts visually. The possibilities associated with a topic become clearer as the student's ideas are classified visually. Increasing Understanding by Creating Graphic Organizers:

Uses of Graphic Organizers: : 

Graphic organizers can be used to structure writing projects, to help in problem solving, decision making, studying, planning research and brainstorming.

Fishbone Map : 

Fishbone Map Result This fishbone map can be used to organize varied selections. For example it can accommodate cause-effect relationship by putting the effect on the end of the horizontal line representing the backbone and the causes on the parallel lines representing the bones connected to the backbone. It can also accommodate the main idea / summary of a selection by putting it on the backbone and the supporting details on the different bones attached to it. Text frame: For the cause-effect relationship: a) What is the result? 2) What are the causes? 3) Is there a way by which the result could have been prevented? How? For the main-supporting idea map: a) What is the main idea of the selection? b) What minor ideas support this main idea?

How can graphical organizers be used in learning? Graphic Organizers in the Classroom Visual thinking can be expressed in many ways. Graphic organizers are one way for visual thinkers to arrange their ideas. There are unlimited ways to express these visual ideas. Graphic organizers have many names including visual maps, mind mapping, and visual organizers. Although many students plan with paper and pencil, technology tools can be very helpful because they allow easy editing. Graphic organizers can be used in all phases of learning from brainstorming ideas to presenting findings. They can be used individually or in large groups. For example, some teachers like to create a class concept map as a large group to review at the end of a unit or develop a character map while reading a book aloud to the class. These tools are particularly useful in activities that require critical thinking skills.
