What is a Graphic Organizer?

A graphic organizer (aka a map OR word web)

is usually a one-page form with blank areas
for the student to fill in with related ideas and
information. Some organizers are very
specific; others can be used with many
topics. For the most part, the information on a
graphic organizer could just as easily be filled
in on a form or written as a list. The organizer
gives the child another way to see the
information. Some of the organizers allow for
the information to be written or drawn,
opening the activity up to younger grades.

together.
2. They help you remember information
better.
3. They make it easier to write your final
draft.
4. They help organize any type of writing.
