More About This HandbookThis handbook is organized into five sections, all of which were created to show the user how to effectively use graphic organizers across the curriculum to further student thinking as to meet the anchor standard of being college and career ready. The first section, About Graphic Organizers, includes a bubble map that contains general information regarding graphic organizers and their use. This section also contains a T-chart of five main graphic organizers developed by Thinking Maps Incorporation: the circle map; the bubble map; the double bubble map; the tree map and the flow chart (thinkingmaps.com). Each graphic organizer is defined in its use and a graphic is provided. Printables of each graphic organizer is also offered in the handbook by clicking on the print button which links the user to the third of the handbook. Section two is concluded by a combination T-chart/Flow Chart which describes the connection between the graphic organizers known as Thinking Maps and Common Core Standards. The name thinking maps and graphic organizers are used interchangeably through the handbook and literature review.The second section of the handbook is very important in the sense that teaches both the student and teacher how to create their own graphic organizer using Microsoft Word, PowerPoints SmartArt or the website Prezi.com. Creating the graphic organizer by means of technology meets the Common Core State Technology Standards integrated throughout, while engaging students in higher-order and critical thought. The fourth section provides teachers with lesson plans for science, math and language arts for multiple grade levels. This section provides graphic organizer examples of how they are used as well as how to implement them in a lesson. Some sections provide examples of how to extend the lesson, as to meet the needs of those students who require additional challenges. Information and resources regarding graphic organizers, their use and proper implantation is provided in the fifth section of the handbook. Links to the California State Standards website as well as the Common Core State Standards are also provided as a means of convenience for the user, since, after all, this handbook is geared toward meeting the requirements of the two. The use of graphic organizer across the curriculum helps students to visualize their learning (thinkingmaps.com). Graphic organizers such as those presented in the handbook provide students with the structure necessary to engage in a deeper understanding hence preparing them for what Common Core Standards focus on a great deal: college and the real world (thinkingmaps.com).

Taking it one step further!

These are bubble maps discussing features of each animal type. I used visuals printed out from Google Images to help meet the needs of my English Language Learners (ELL).This blogger created a tree chart similar to ours using graphics to add visuals for students. Adding visuals helps to meet the needs of ELL as well as the different learning styles present in the classroom. Source: http://std2groupinganimals.blogspot.com/Lesson Plans Menu
