HOW DO I MAKE IT?Write a paragraph about the organizer. It should
include the following features:• Topic• Major concepts (branches)• Detail (explain the order of words in the
branches)• Connections (Connects organizer to class
learning)• Conclusion (tells how making the organizer
helped understand topic)
