When to use the FREE Brainstorming Graphic Organizers...
Graphic organizers help students to take notes while watching a movie, pick out important facts while reading an article, and gather information while listening to a lecture. Graphic organizers help students to focus on the task at hand. When I taught in a larger classroom, students were more engaged in a task when they were required to complete a graphic organizer worth of notes. On the flipside, when a sole child is given a task without direction, it is hard for them to focus in on information without a guide. Here is a short list of some of the ways these Free Graphic Organizers can be used.
- Take notes while watching an educational video
- Write facts about a topic while reading an article
- Gather information while listening to a lecture
- Brainstorming about a topic
- Use it within a group activity to gather information about a learned topic
These graphic organizers are basic notetaking and brainstorming tools. We also offer a set of 4-Square Graphic Organizers that are ideal for book summaries, events, and reading comprehension.
