    What are

    Graphic
    Organizers?
    Graphic organizers are visual
    representation of knowledge
    that structures information by
    arranging important aspects of a
    concept or topic into a pattern using
    labels
    (Bromley, DeVitis & Modlo, 1999).
    Their main function is to help
    present information in concise ways
    that highlight the
    organization and relationships of
    concepts.
    Reasons for
    Using
    Graphic
    Organizers
    Tools for critical and creative thinking

    Graphic organizers help students


    focus on what is important
    (Bromley, DeVitis and Modlo, 1995)
    because they highlight key
    concepts and vocabulary, and the
    relationships among them,
    thus providing the tools for critical and
    creative thinking.
    Tools for organizing information

    The human mind organizes and


    stores information in a series of
    networks (Ausubel, 1968). Graphic
    organizers are visual depictions that
    resemble networks and allow students
    to add or modify their background
    knowledge by seeing the connections
    and contradictions between existing
    knowledge and new information.
    Tools for understanding
    information and relationships.

    Graphic organizers serve as


    mental tools (Vygotsky, 1962) to
    help the students understand and
    retain important information
    and relationships
    Tools for depicting knowledge and
    understanding

    Graphic organizers provide an


    optional way of depicting knowledge
    and understanding (Sorenson, 1991),
    so it is particularly beneficial for
    students who have difficulty with
    expressing relationship among parts of
    economic concepts in written word.
    Tools for self-learning

    Students who use graphic organizers


    in the classroom develop
    their ability to use them independently as
    study tools for note taking, planning,
    presentation, and review (Dunston, 1992).
    In other words, graphic organizers are
    beneficial to students
    learning inside and beyond classrooms.
    Fishbone Diagrams
    A fishbone map (sometimes
    called a herringbone map) is a
    type of graphic organizer that is
    used to explore the many aspects
    or effects of a complex topic,
    helping the student to organize
    their thoughts in a simple, visual
    way. The use of color helps make
    a fishbone map clearer and easier
    to interpret.
    Tree Diagrams
    Tree Diagrams are a type of
    graphic organizer that shows how
    items are related to one another. The
    tree's trunk represents the main
    topic, and the branches represent
    relevant facts, factors, influences,
    traits, people, or outcomes.
    Tree diagrams can be used to sort
    items or classify them
    Chain Diagrams
    Chain diagrams, also
    called sequence of events
    diagrams, are a type of
    graphic organizer that
    describe the stages or
    steps in a process.
    Continuum/Timeline Diagrams
    Continuum or timeline
    diagrams are a type of
    graphic organizer that are
    used to represent a
    continuum of data that
    occur in chronological
    (time) order or in
    sequential order.
    Flowchart Diagrams
    Flowchart diagrams are a type of graphic
    organizer that visually display a chain of
    instructions used to complete an algorithm or
    other complicated process.
    lowcharts have a beginning, multiple
    possible outcomes at some nodes, rules at
    some nodes, and possible multiple endings.
    In flowcharts, different symbols have different
    meanings.
    •Arrows represent the direction of flow.
    •Circles and ovals are starting, stopping, or
    control points.
    •Diamonds are decision points.
    •Rectangles and squares are steps at which
    processing takes place.
    •Parallelograms represent input or output.
    Venn Diagrams: Compare and Contrast
    A Venn Diagram is a graphic organizer
    that is made up of two or three
    overlapping circles. In mathematics,
    Venn diagrams are used to visualize the
    relationship between two or three sets.
    Venn diagrams can also be used to
    compare and contrast the characteristics
    of any other items, like groups of people,
    individual people, books, characters,
    animals, etc.
    The English mathematician John Venn
    invented the Venn diagram in 1880.
