Graphic Organizers for Content Instruction One of our roles as ESL and bilingual specialists is to encourage mainstream teachers to employ teaching techniques which make content area information more accessible to second language learners. Content materials present text which is too dense for ELLs. Teach your students to use graphic organizers such as webs, Venn diagrams, and charts to help them better comprehend these texts. These are visual tools that help ELLs understand and organize information. They are like mind maps which promote active learning. One of our goals in teaching our English language learners is to help them summarize and interpret text. Download the PDF files listed below or try a customized graphic organizer at Teach-nology.com.

This website has plenty of graphic organizers so that students can visualize their ideas. This helps them have a better comprehension by mlopezflores Mar 10
These graphic organizers can be used with any book and across grade levels. Students can use them to visualize how ideas fit together and construct meaning. And teachers can use them to assess students' understanding of what they are reading, observe their thinking process on what they're reading as well as identify the strengths and weaknesses of those thought processes. by mcussen Feb 17
