 An overview - why and how do we use graphic organizers

Graphic organizers are effective tools that help students organize and share their ideas and understandings in a
simplified manner.

Graphic organizers can be used at any point of time in the inquiry process - while introducing a new concept, while
making connections, to activate prior knowledge, and for ongoing, continuous assessment.
