Graphic Organizer
The graphic organizer I created enhances my lesson about wellness, because it

allows students to learn about the different dimensions of wellness. As the students watch

the video they will be expected to fill out the graphic organizer while they listen to it. By

doing this the students will be able to focus on this lesson more and will help them to

absorb this information. I know that when my teachers have given me handouts to fill out

while I watch a video I tend to focus more on what is being said in the video and I retain

that information better. I also believe by giving them a graphic organizer it teaches them

how to take notes, and make them simple, effective, and organized.

For my graphic organizer I looked up the dimensions of wellness and added each

one onto the graphic organizer. They’re each colorful and have an image on them which

represents their dimension of wellness. I think that the image also will help the students

learn and memorize what each element is because they can associate the image with that

dimension. I decided it would be best if the students wrote down the name for each

dimension of wellness, and then I wrote down key phrases or sentences from the video

about each and created blanks for key words for each of the dimensions of wellness for

the students to fill out. I strongly believe that when you listen to something and write it

down then you retain that information better.
