Graphic organisers defined Graphic organisers are: § a pictorial way of constructing knowledge § a pictorial way of organising information § a pictorial way of converting disjointed information into a simple-to-read display § a completed graphic organiser conveys complex information in an easy to understand manner
Graphic organisers - advantages Using graphic organisers ensures: § an increased understanding of the topic § an understanding of the relationships between items § an understanding of the meaning of each item § that the most important parts of the information are prioritized § that new ideas are generated § that student thinking skills are developed
Graphic organisers - uses Graphic organisers can be used: § to help analyse and synthesize information § to structure written assignments § to help in problem solving § to assist in decision making § to assist in planning research § when brainstorming ideas § to illustrate prior knowledge on the subject § to categorise information § to gather and record information § to show the students’ thinking Can be used in any subject in the curriculum
Graphic organisers - application Graphic organisers can be applied: § at the beginning of a unit of work e. g. for brainstorming prior knowledge § at the end of a unit of work e. g. a self assessment rubic § to describe a phenomenon § to classify or categorise a phenomena § to compare & contrast facts § to sequence or order ideas § to show causal links between ideas, information § to evaluate and predict
Graphic organisers - choice § The tasks or thinking skills required determines the type of graphic organiser to be used § The following slides give examples of common graphic organisers according to the task involved
Task A Classifying, recalling, brainstorming use Webs § Questions § What is the central idea? § What are the qualities/attributes? § What are its functions? § Choices § 1. Star, 2. Spider, 3. Cloud/cluster
Webs - star Star Use when investigating attributes associated with a single topic, concept or theme
Webs - spider Spider Use when investigating attributes associated with a single topic. This is like a star organiser but with one more level of detail.
Webs - clouds Clouds Use when the topic involves generating ideas, e. g. brainstorming.
Task B To show processes, sequences, prioritizing use chains, cycles and flow charts. § Questions § What happened? § What is the sequence of events? § What are the substages? § Choices 1. Series of events chain, 2. Cycle, 3. Flow chart
1. Chain of events § Series of events chain § Use to describe the stages of something e. g. the life cycle of an insect, a sequence of historical events § Questions § § What is the first event? What are the stages or steps? How do they lead to one another? What is the final outcome?
1. Chain of events § Series of events chain diagram
2. Cycle of events § Use if the topic involves a recurring cycle of events, with no beginning and no end e. g. life cycles § Questions § What are the critical events in the cycle? § How are they related? § In what ways are they self-reinforcing?
2. Cycle of events § Cycle of events diagram
3. Flow chart / sequencing § Flow Chart § Use to describe discrete step, or steps that must be completed in order § Questions § What happened? § What is the sequence of events? § What are the substages?
2. Flow chart / sequencing § Flow chart diagram
Task C To compare and contrast information. § Questions § What are things being compared? § How are they similar? § How are they different? § Choices 1. Venn Diagram 2. T Chart 3. Compare & contrast matrix
1. Venn Diagram § Use to analyze similarities and differences between two things by placing individual characteristics in either the left or right sections, and common characteristics in the overlapping section § Questions § What are the two things being compared? § How are they similar? § How are they different?
1. Venn diagram § Venn diagram example
2. T-chart § T-Chart § Use when analyzing or comparing two aspects of a topic. e. g. Fill out a T-Chart to evaluated the pros and cons associated with a decision § Questions § What are the two things being compared? § How are they similar? § How are they different?
2. T-chart § T-chart example
3. Compare & contrast matrix § Matrix or data chart § Use to show differences and similarities between two things eg people, places, events, ideas § Questions § What are the two things being compared? § How are they similar? § How are they different?
3. Compare & contrast matrix § Matrix diagram example
Task D To show cause and effect § Questions § What are the causes and effects of this event? § What might happen next? § Choices § 1. Fishbone § 2. Cause/effect chain of events § 3. Multiple causes map
1. Webs - fishbone § Fishbone § Used when investigating cause and effect factors associated with a complex event or phenomenon. § Questions: § What are the causes and effects of this event § What might happen next § What are the factors that cause X? § How do they relate?
1. Webs - fishbone § Fishbone example eg: analysing an election, juvenile delinquency
2. Cause and effect chain § Cause and effect chain example One event causes another, which triggers another like a domino effect.
3. Multiple causes map § Multiple causes map example
Task E To evaluate or predict § KWLH § § K = what we know W = what we want to find out L = what we learned H = how can we learn more § Use to help students activate prior knowledge. § Use a KWHL chart before, during, and after reading about a topic
Evaluate/predict § KWHL diagram
Graphic organisers across the curriculum § Graphic organisers can be used to reinforce topics from any subject. Use the examples in this presentation in: § § Maths – e. g. Venn diagrams, slide 21 Science – e. g. Flow charts, slide 18 Literature – e. g. Story boards, slide 34 (next slide) History – e. g. Cycle of events, slide 17 § Better still - create your own organiser!
Storyboards § A graphic look at literature
