Great Graphic Organizers Write-on/Wipe-off

Not everyone can pick up a pencil and produce an essay easily. A graphic organizer is a tool to help kids brainstorm ideas for writing. Getting the ideas out and then seeing them on a chart gives students an in-between step to putting ideas into writing. These are large, colorful, and reusable with a dry-erase marker. 5 brightly-colored write-on/wipe-off organizers include a Venn Diagram (2 overlapping circles, a T-Chart (two-sided list format think pros and cons) a KWL chart with 3 columns to show what you know, what you want to know, and what you have learned, a story board that looks a little like a comic strip with a flow of six boxes, and a concept map with a large bubble in the middle and smaller bubbles branching of it, also known as a story web. These can be used to sequence events, brainstorm, look for commonalities and differences, analyze reading selections, etc. They are a fun way to explore topics you will be writing about and most kids enjoy the interaction as you come up with ideas. With all your ideas visually organized, the writing process will have a fine jump-start. 18" x 24". ~ Sara
