USE APPROPRIATE GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS IN TEXT READ
(GRAPHIC ORGANIZER)

Background Information for Learners


Graphic organizers are charts or visuals which are used to represent what we think of. They
can understand what we read. As a part of the reading process, graphic organizers can help a
student comprehend what he has read and make comparisons.
Graphic organizers can be used to sequence events, analyze cause and effect, compare and
contrast and develop concepts and details. In sequencing events, we use organizers like story
board, flow chart, story train, chain of events chart and sequence chart.

Story Board- is a graphic organizer that consists of illustrations or images displayed in


sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion, picture or animation
Flower chart- this is a problem-solution graphic organizer in the shape of a flower. This
versatile organizer can be used to sequence or write the 5 W’s in the petals.
Chain of events- is a number of actions and their effects that are contiguous and linked
together that results a particular outcome.

Tomas “, said she, “and they will lay eggs each morning, then I will sell
the eggs to the mayor’s wife. With the money that I will get from the sale
on the eggs, I’m sure I can buy myself a cute dress and a hat; and when I
go to the market I would be a muse. Won’t all the young men come up
and speak to me! Ana will be that jealous, but I don’t care. I shall just
