Graphic Organisers
There are a huge number of graphic organisers. Graphic organisers may
give students the opportunity to show their thinking in a visual way, and may
be relatively unstructured, such as mind maps, or may provide a structure within
which students can organise their thinking. Graphic organisers may be used for
research, planning or reflection and metacognition. Students should be encouaged
to try a range of different organisers and to reflect on how useful they find
these. Different organisers appeal to different people.
