Graphic Organizers
An overview - why and how do we
use graphic organizers
Graphic organizers are effective tools that help students
organize and share their ideas and understandings in a
simplified manner.
Graphic organizers can be used at any point of time in the
inquiry process - while introducing a new concept, while
making connections, to activate prior knowledge, and for
ongoing, continuous assessment.
Within this resource, we have included a student instruction page
and editable templates! We’ve curated several open-ended
graphic organizers that you can use in the classroom in any of the
following ways:
● As an editable Google Slide - Click on File → Make a
copy for each student to give them access to their editable
version of the graphic organizer templates.
● Download the graphic organizer templates as a PDF and
print.
● For an interactive use of these templates, download them
as a PNG file, upload them to the Toddle Workbook, and
assign to your students.

- How did you come up with these ideas?

Record your thinking outside the light bulb as you reflect on the
question - How might you apply this kind of thinking to other areas
of life and learning?
