SPIDER MAP GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

• The aim of the spider map is to establish the main

theme with clear descriptive relations. In this case, the
center circle emerges from other circles that encircle it,
producing a visual image of a spider. Each linked leg
and circle will have an adjective or phrase description.

How to use it
• While circle maps are used for organizational activities,
spider maps are better suited to explain a subject. In a
marketing environment, you can use a spider map to
identify the characteristics of a specific audience.
IDEA WHEEL GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
• The idea wheel is like a combination of the circle map and the spider
map. This graphic organizer focuses on creative thinking and
arranging ideas at the same stage. The main theme being examined
appears in the center of the chart. There may be other circles or
shapes around it, a sectioned larger circle, or interconnected bubbles.

How to use it
• The goal of using an idea wheel is to organize information numerically
or as a series. Thoughts are applied to the main concept in particular
sections and then clarified in the same circle or with a shape that
stems from it. Idea wheels are effective for freestyle strategizing and
organizing information on a specific subject. It helps to take notes
when performing an analysis or forming a concept of a larger image.
CONCEPT MAP GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
• The concept map closely resembles the idea web. The
difference is that the web idea is for contrasting while the
concept map is for strategizing and arranging.
This type of organizational chart is typically very diverse and
detailed.

How to use it
• This type of graphic organizer is best for evaluating one specific
topic rather than two or more topics simultaneously. It ideally
suits individual use rather than infographic or presentation
purposes. However, a concept map is often used for data
visualizations that display relations between themes.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
• A chain of incidents is almost like a flowchart. This type graphic
organizer is an illustration of a method, change, or collection of
guidelines.
• The key theme of a chain of events is placed outside the map in
the rectangle that borders it. Linked shapes show the steps or
progress of a sequence. Some of the shapes may include an
extra shape connected to it to explain a specific idea.

How to use it
• Sequence of events graphic organizers are mostly used in
classrooms to explain the plot of stories and novels. However,
they can come in handy in many circumstances, especially if
there are ordered events.
CAUSE AND EFFECT MAP GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
• The cause and effect map is among the most functional of all
graphic organizers. It aims to describe the sources and
consequences of certain cases.

How to use it
• Start with the main event that will occupy the large center
portion of the map. Through the main body, the other related
shapes are left and right. The shapes on the left reflect the
factors that assisted to make the situation occur. The shapes
to the right are the results of the event selected. In certain
cases, the result may also become a source, forming a
vicious circle.
