What is a Graphic Organizer

Pictorial or graphical way to organize information and thoughts

Powerful tool that can be used to enhance learning and create a foundation for learning

Page 4: Smart Ideas and the Instructional Coach

The Look of Graphic Organization

Organizing a hierarchical set of information, reflecting super ordinate or subordinate elements, is made easier by constructing a Network Tree.

A Descriptive or Thematic Map works well for mapping generic information, but particularly well for mapping hierarchical relationships

Page 5: Smart Ideas and the Instructional Coach

When information contains cause and effect problems and solutions, a Problem and Solution Map can be useful for organizing.

When the information relating to a main idea or theme does not fit into a hierarchy, a Spider Map can help with organization.

Page 6: Smart Ideas and the Instructional Coach

A Problem-Solution Outline helps students to compare different solutions to a problem

A Sequential Episodic Map is useful for mapping cause and effect.

Page 7: Smart Ideas and the Instructional Coach

When cause-effect relationships are complex and non-redundant a Fishbone Map may be particularly useful.

A Comparative and Contrastive Map can help students to compare and contrast two concepts according to their features.

Page 8: Smart Ideas and the Instructional Coach

Another way to compare concepts' attributes is to construct a Compare-Contrast Matrix.

Continuum Scale is effective for organizing information along a dimension such as less to more, low to high, and few to many.

A Series of Events Chain can help students organize information according to various steps or stages.

Page 9: Smart Ideas and the Instructional Coach

A Cycle Map is useful for organizing information that is circular or cyclical, with no absolute beginning or ending.

A Human Interaction Outline is effective for organizing events in terms of a chain of action and reaction (especially useful in social sciences and humanities).

Dual Coding Theory

Allan PaivioConcrete words can be encoded twice. Once as

verbal symbols (text) and once as images. Dual coding increases the likelihood of recall. The

dual retrieval routes—one for each code. Verbal symbols are stored as linear sequence of

words, visual as pictures.

Why use graphic organizers?

The human brain naturally looks for connections between old and new information. Additionally, studies have shown that the brain processes information most efficiently in chunks. Graphic organizers complement both of these processes by helping students.

When students see information in a web diagram or concept map, their minds begin to see patterns and relationships among ideas.

Helps teachers understand what students are learning.

Critical Areas of Thought

All representations should not be the same.

Students need ‘thinking’ and ‘creating’ time.

Presentation and sharing is important. Students will make connections.

Give time to revisit graphic representation. ----Cement learning
