Week 11 - Assignment 2


Out of the seven literacy strategies that are mentioned in the article, I choose graphic organizers. Graphic organizers can be used in the classroom in many ways. It cab be used in all subject areas such as Reading, Writing, Math etc. I can be used to organize information and make the content easier to understand. Students can sort through the information and learn the most important parts. It can serve as a visual aid to give students a better understanding of how concepts are related. Graphic organizers help students capture information and become better learners. The article,” Graphic Organizers: Guiding Principles and Effective Practices,” mentions that in order for graphic organizers to be effective in the classroom, some steps must be followed. First, graphic organizers should be clear and easy to understand. Then, teachers must show students how to use the graphic organizers to make it an effective tool. Lastly, graphic organizers should be used frequently to help students learn the organizational skills necessary to make the most of this fundamental tool.
