40. TIPS FOR
USING
GRAPHIC
ORGANIZERS
EFFECTIVELY
@TheTechProfe

41. T1. Model how to
use the
organizers.
If students aren’t taught how to use graphic
organizers through teacher modeling and guided
practice, they won’t get much from them. So
take the extra step and model their use.
@TheTechProfe

42. T2. Avoid complete sentences.
Unless you have a very good reason to insist that students use complete
sentences on their organizers, don’t do it. Complete sentences take up too
much space, they take longer to write, and the effort to hold students
accountable misses the whole point of the organizer. Show students how to
use bullet points and sentence fragments to get ideas down and show how
they are related.
@TheTechProfe

43. T3. For complex
material, consider
teacher-generated
organizers.
@TheTechProfe

44. T4. Let students color
outside the lines.
Literally.
@TheTechProfe

45. T5. Offer a variety of
organizers for
day-to-day use.
