Week 5
A graphic organizer is a way to communicate using visual symbols to express ideas and concepts and to convey meaning. It depicts relationships between facts and allows for brainstorming. It can help students and teachers visually see their ideas. This is great tool for a visual learner.
Students should be writing paragraphs and papers; using a graphic organizer can be a tremendous help for the students in writing those papers. Students using a graphic organizer can brainstorm for an essay before actually writing the essay. This will allow them to organize their thoughts in a logical manner before they begin the writing. They will see their paper visually before actually beginning to write. This allows for an easier writing process and less frustration on the students’ part. Graphic organizers make the writing task less daunting. I find it beneficial in writing my own papers.
Graphic organizers can be used to teach and understand a variety of different subjects. They can be used to explain the relationships between different characters in a story, a way to display key issues of a war, and to understand the different sections of an orchestra and the different instruments in each section, such as the one we did in class. It appears that the possibilities are endless for using graphic organizers.
