Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers are great classroom tools. They come in many different types like charts, storyboards, writing webs, and venn diagrams. KWL charts are a great tools when starting a new lesson. Children discuss what the Know, what they Want to know, and what they have Learned in the end. Story boards help children to plan out writing or better understand a book they are reading in class. Writing webs also help with planning out reports and papers. Venn diagrams are great in discussing similarities and differences of about almost anything. In conclusion graphic organizers are great to spice up a lesson. They help kids get a deeper understanding and can be created on a lot of Microsoft software.
