Week 11
Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers is a great strategy for teaching literacy. It can be used in the classroom easily basically for every lesson students can use graphic organizers to organize new learned information and put it into some kind of chart or graph. This helps visual learners especially because they can sort of “see” the information on paper instead of just hearing about it. Teachers can use them with every lesson they teach in giving out sheets in which students have to plug the information learned into the appropriate places. The information is organized and students can see how things come together in a clear fashion. Graphic organizers also help retain what was learned in our memories better.
