Description of how to implement in the class: Students can organize their ideas by using these
templates using Inspiration in upcoming writing. Students will pick a topic they are interested in to
write an information writing. First, I will show students my example and how I used the graphic
organizer template to make it.
Then explain to them to them how organizing their thoughts can be beneficial to their writing.
Students will then be allowed to create their own graphic organizer.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): Since students will be creating their own graphic
organizer, it will be a LoTi level 5.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided *: The sample is something I would show the
students as an example graphic organizer. This will show them what expectations I have of them for
the assignment. My graphic organizer shows the steps it takes to tie a shoe.
Other comments about your proposed BBPT Activity: This can help my future writing
assignments and it gives them the opportunity to choose a topic they are interested in.
