This is a variation of KWL Chart where
learners connect what is known to what is
yet to be learned. Through a series of
questions, they will anticipate what they’ll
learn from a lesson and directed to map
their findings, categorize information as a
34
prelude for creating conclusion.

Thinking Map
Thinking maps include methods that
help visualize your thinking or
represent your abstract thoughts with
concrete visuals.

40
Thinking Map
• Circle Map – Defining in context and brainstorming 
• Bubble Map – Describing using adjectives 
• Flow Map – Ordering and sequencing 
• Brace Map – Depicting the whole of something and its parts 
• Tree Map – Classifying and grouping 
• Double Bubble Map – Comparing and contrasting 
• Multi-flow map – analyzing causes and effects 
• Bridge map – Seeing analogies 

41
Circle Map
The purpose of a Circle
Map is to define a word
or concept using
background knowledge
through brainstorming
ideas.
42
Bubble Map
The purpose of the Bubble
Map is to describe content
using adjectives. When
describing a topic or
concept, it is important to
use emotional, sensory,
and logical characteristics.
43
Flow Map
The most common uses for a
Flow Map are science, problem
solving, and historic events
and timelines. Flow Maps are
known to increase the non-
linguistic representation of
their ideas (Hylerle & Yeager, 2007, p.56). 

44
Tree Map
Tree Maps can be
used for story
elements, vocabulary
words, and taking
notes. 

45
Double Bubble Map
The purpose
of a Double
Bubble Map is
to compare
and contrast
two things.

46
Multi-flow Map
The purpose of a
Multi-Flow Map is
for locating the
causes and effects
of an event.
Hylerle and Yeager (2007)

K-W-L-H Use to help students activate
prior knowledge. It is a group
instruction activity that serves as
a model for active thinking
during reading.
What We Want to How Can We Learn
What We Know What We Learned

e. Peek-overs and Add-ons
67
Book Marks
Learners will have fun designing a
unique bookmark for use during a
theme unit or literature study. A
folding bookmark provides space for
them to summarize stories, list
related books, record new vocabulary
words and write facts.
68
Book Marks
Book Characters:
Design a bookmark that
represents a character in the
story read. Write the book title
and author on the front side.
Inside write about your
character’s admirable trait.

69
Box Activities
Box can be used for a wide
variety of creative projects
related to literature studies,
theme units and research
activities.

70
Box Activities
Box animals:
Using a box for a body and a stuffed
paper bag for a head, create an
animal from science. Add details
made from construction paper
scraps. Write facts about your
animal on paper cut to fit the box.

71
Chart
Chart making is a practical way for
learners to organize information. When
the charts are complete, learners can
compare and contrast the information
charted or summarize and share what
they have learned through discussion
and writing.

73
 Peek-overs and Add-ons
Peek-overs and add-ons , art projects
related to the theme being studied, are
added to learner’s writing. These
creative additions make especially
appealing classroom displays.

74
Peek-overs and Add-ons
Self-concept:
After painting/drawing a
life size self portrait on
butcher paper , write
your autobiography and
attach it to the picture.
Include photograph if
you choose.

75
 ▸ An “up-front” initial investment in
creating graphic organizers may result
in considerably less work over the
long run.
(“The more you use them, the easier it gets.”)
76
 ▸ While it is true that some people
seem to prefer visual presentations
of information and others prefer auditory
formats, viewing the learning process in
this manner is a gross over-simplification
of how information is actually processed
77
and understood.
 Graphic organizers allow you to
teach more than just the content.
You are also teaching information
processing skills, patterns for organizing
information, analytical and critical thinking

skills, as well as communication skills.

 Design with a goal in mind.

 Decide in advance how students will organize
the information. 
 Use pictures to help initiate interaction with the
worksheet. If possible, structure the organizer to
look like something, as in this fishbone, or as in
this tree shape, this eye shape, or this 
79 sequencing organizer.
 Keep the structure simple.
 Try to make the directions immediately
understood.
 Allow students to add the details and
creativity. The more creative investment
they put into the organization of
80 information, the more they will remember.
Application
Graphic Organizer Designing

Design graphic organizers appropriate to

your respective learning areas on the
different steps of Lesson Exemplar and
Learning Activity Sheets.
