GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS

"Graphic organizers help students comprehend information through visual  

 representation of concepts, ideas, and relationships.  They provide the structure 

 for short and long term memory. 

Graphic organizers turn abstract concepts into concrete visual representations. (...)

The use of graphic organizers produces learning effects that are substantial and long lasting."
