UNDERSTAND
Topic Title: Graphic Organizers

What are graphic organizers?

Graphic Organizers are visual displays of key content information designed to benefit
learners who have difficulty organizing information. These help students visualize how ideas are
organized within a text or surrounding a concept.

Examples:
➢ Main Idea and Details Chart shows the relationship between the main concept and the details.

➢ Semantic Maps are maps or webs of words. The purpose of creating a map is to visually display
the meaning-based connections between a word or phrase and a set of related words or
concepts.

➢ Venn Diagram is an illustration that uses overlapping circles to show the relationship among
things or between two or more sets of items. Circles that overlap highlight how the items are
similar, while circles that do not overlap show how things are different.

➢ K-W-L Charts are graphic organizers that help students organize information before, during,
and after a unit or lesson. Students begin brainstorming everything they Know about a topic,
which is recorded in the K column. Then they generate a list of questions about what they Want
to Know about the topic. During or after reading, students answer the questions that are in the
W column. This new information that they have Learned is recorded in the L column.

➢ A Ranking Ladder provides a visual framework to help the learner make sequential
connections between concepts.

See the illustration of each type.

Read the selection “Daedalus and Icarus” then work on the activities below.

Daedalus and Icarus

Nick Pontikis

Daedalus is an Athenian craftsman, famous for his ability to invent and build things.
Unfortunately, he also has a jealous streak. When his nephew (Talos) invents the saw, Daedalus realizes
that the boy might be more talented than he is. Daedalus throws Talos off the Acropolis, a tall
monument in Athens. Daedalus leaves Athens and heads to the island of Crete.
While he's hanging out there, Daedalus befriends King Minos, the island's ruler. Daedalus still
has the touch in Crete, and he continues his building streak. First, he builds a cow suit so that Crete's
queen (Pasiphae) can get it on with a bull. Pasiphae's union with the bull results in a horrible half-man,
half-beast called the Minotaur.
Next up, King Minos (the half-beast's step-dad) asks Daedalus to design a maze (the Labyrinth)
in which to put the terrible Minotaur. The Minotaur demands human sacrifices, and every nine years,
King Minos sends seven young men and women into the Labyrinth to meet their doom. One of these
victims sent to his death is the hero Theseus. This guy is tough, and he decides to fight back and try to
kill the Minotaur.
King Minos' daughter, Ariadne, falls madly in love with Theseus. And since Daedalus built the
Labyrinth, she asks him to help Theseus safely navigate it. Always the helpful one, Daedalus gives
Theseus a ball of yarn and tells the hero to trail it behind him, creating a roadmap for how to get back
out. Genius, we say! And sure enough, after Theseus kills the Minotaur, he is able to escape. (He and
Ariadne leave Crete together.) King Minos is not happy with Daedalus for helping Theseus, so he locks
Daedalus and his son, Icarus, in the Labyrinth.
Clearly, our genius inventor won't take this sitting down. Knowing that King Minos' army guards
the land and water, Daedalus decides to escape by air. Daedalus uses twine, feathers, and wax to build
large wings for himself and his son.

Finally, the wings are finished. Daedalus tries his set on, and they totally work. He hangs in the
air for a few seconds, flapping his fake wings. Before putting wings on Icarus, Daedalus gives his son
some warnings: he should follow him closely and fly at a middle height. If he flies too low, the seawater
will dampen the wings, and if he flies too high, the sun will melt the wax.
Daedalus is still a little scared about the journey: softly cries while tying the wings onto his son,
and gives his little guy a hug. And off they go! Daedalus looks back at his son, cheering him on. In all
the excitement, Icarus forgets his father's warning and starts to fly higher. Sure enough, he gets too
close to the sun: the heat softens the wax, and his wings fall apart. Icarus plummets into the sea, crying,
"Father, father!" on his way down. Daedalus tries to save his son, but it's too late—he has drowned.
The only thing Daedalus can find are feathers floating in the water.
For the first time ever, Daedalus curses his "art" (i.e., his crafting skills). Daedalus names the
part of the ocean where Icarus fell the "Icarian Sea."
Still mourning, Daedalus flies onward to the Italian island of Sicily. When he gets there, he
performs funeral rites for his son. Next, Daedalus constructs a temple to Apollo, where he hangs his
wings.
While living in Sicily, Daedalus strikes up a friendship with King Cocalus, the ruler of the island.
When King Minos comes searching for Daedalus, Cocalus takes pity and hides the inventor. King
Cocalus' daughters kill King Minos with scalding water, freeing Daedalus from his hunt forever.

Key Points

Graphic Organizers- are visual displays of key content information designed to benefit learners who
have difficulty organizing information.

There are several types of graphic organizers, and among them are Main Idea and Details Chart,
Semantic web/map, Venn Diagram, K-W-L Charts, Ranking Ladder.

TRY
Let's see how much you have learned today!
(Answer on the Learner’s Activity and Assessment sheets.)
A. Arrange the events in the story by completing the ranking ladder. Choose the correct
answers from the given details.

A. He and His son devised a plan to escape by using wings made of wax and feathers that Daedalus
himself invented. Daedalus warned his son to follow closely behind him and sternly cautioned him
not to fly too close to the sun, as it would melt his wings, and not too close to the sea, as it would
dampen them and make it hard to fly.
B. Daedalus grieved for his son and flew onward to the Italian island of Sicily. When he gets there,
he performs funeral rites for his son. Daedalus built a temple for Apollo and hung his wings as an
offering to the Olympian god.
C. Daedalus was a skillful architect, craftsman, and artist. He is the father of Icarus, the uncle of
Talos. He Invented and built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete to imprison the Minotuar. But due
to the King’s anger after learning he helped Theseus, Daedalus and Icarus were imprisoned in the
Labyrinth.
D. He lives in Sicily, an island ruled by King Cocalus. King Minos comes searching for Daedalus,
Cocalus takes pity and hides the inventor. King Cocalus' daughters kill King Minos with scalding
water, freeing Daedalus from his hunt forever.
E. They succeeded in their plan. In his joy and excitement of flying, Icarus forgets his father’s
advice and soar too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt. Icarus wings fall apart, and he falls
to his death and drowns into the sea.
