II. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

Graphic organizers take various forms and names, such as webs, clusters, maps, etc. They can be used for taking notes while reading (textbooks, articles, fiction), taking notes while listening (classroom lectures and presentations), or taking notes while viewing (videos, experiments, demonstrations), as well as for planning, writing, and speaking.

Some of these organizers are best suited for brainstorming while others are more often used for organizing the ideas and information already selected.
