Here are some graphic organizers you can use in your class. They can help with understanding and make information more comprehensible and clear.
- A Venn Diagram and the T Chart can be used to compare and contrast information.
- The 5W's Information Chart can be used during guided reading to help the reader along through comprehending the story.
- The Reflection Graphic Organizer can be used to reflect after the end of a unit or lesson to see what can be improved in lessons but also to help the learner practice reflection skills as that may need to be taught with SLIFE.
- The KWL Chart allows learners to gather information about a topic but also to activate prior knowledge, which is important for SLIFE so that they can remember what they already know and build upon that knowledge.
- The Vocabulary Word Map is helpful for teaching a new vocabulary word.
- The Concept Map helps divide broad information into smaller steps and can help with remembering smaller details of a topic.
