Why Use Graphic Organizers?
help students with important thinking skills
require students to take ownership by paraphrase rather than copy text
provide logical visual cues to make relationships apparent
Graphic Organizer Evaluation
Is it based on process or product? Will the student begin with one understanding that expands to another?
Does it require the student to use his/her own words?
Is it useful in multiple contexts and subject areas?
Are the visual cues useful and necessary? Is it clear and logical?

Don’t worry. I’ll let you talk with your friends.
Write a Thesis Statement
Based on what you’ve learned through the comparing and contrasting, as well as classifying activities, work with your table group to create an argument that you can support with the information you’ve accumulated.
Organize
Use the categories you determined while sorting and color-coding as headings to organize your
information in a Tree Map (page 6).
