GRAPHIC ORGANISERS

At the end of the session participants will be able to:

describe what a graphic organizer is list various types graphic organisers select a graphic organizer for a topic of their

subject area demonstrate their ability to use graphic

organisers in their classes

What’s a graphic organiser?Is a powerful visual tool of information and allows the mind 'to see'

patterns and relationships

Can you guess an organizer which you see it on a day to

day basis?

A calendar :

Is a descriptive matrix.

helps us to gather, screen, sort and share information.

Can be used to create emerging patterns and relationships, opportunities for decision making and sharing information

Proton

Positively charged,

Determines atomic no.

Number is constant

Negatively charged,Almost no mass!!Can be removed or added,In constant motion in orbits

Charged

In the nucleus, similar mass, the sum of these is the mass no.

Not charged,

No. can vary (isoptope)

The K-W-L-H teaching technique is a good method to help students activate prior knowledge. This serves as a model for active thinking during reading.

K - Stands for helping students recall what they KNOW about the subject.

W - Stands for helping students determine what they WANT to learn.

L - Stands for helping students identify what they LEARN as they read.

H - Stands for HOW we can learn more (other sources where additional information on the topic can be found).

Summary

A flowchart for Graphic Organizers!

Use by teacher and students

By teacher: GOs already prepared and displayed as charts Making while explaining in class

By students As a small project/assignment for a group End of class to assess understanding – can divide parts to

groupsGive fully or partially blank GO for students to fillWrite text but don’t show the relationshipsAsk them to find mistakes in a GODifferent levels of activity for differently abled students

Use it to revise

- Form department wise group

- Create one graphic organizer for the

topic of your choice to use in your

classroom
