What are graphic organizers and how do I use them?
Graphic organizers usually include boxes for writing information and pictures to help students organize information they read from a text. Below is a picture of a historical timeline which is a perfect example of a graphic organizer to help students organize important dates from a historical text.
Graphic organizers are incredibly helpful tools for organizing information, regardless of whether students are English learners or not.
For our English learners who are attempting to access grade-level materials, they can be crucial.
In the ESL Curriculum Membership, you can find a growing library of graphic organizers you can use to scaffold learning for your English learners.
