How to use graphic organizers for teaching writing, learning, and understanding across the curriculum.
Graphic organizers guide learners’ thinking as they fill in and build upon a visual map or diagram. Graphic organizers are some of the most effective visual learning strategies for students and are applied across the curriculum to enhance learning and understanding of subject matter content. In a variety of formats dependent upon the task, graphic organizers facilitate students’ learning by helping them identify areas of focus within a broad topic, such as a novel or article.

Teachers can use graphic organizers to illustrate a student’s knowledge about a topic or section of text showing areas for improvement.
