24. 3. PRE-WRITING
Plan and structure their ideas.
Don’t treat graphic organizers
as the final writing.
Have them develop a draft
only.
Why is being
bilingual important?

26. 4. TEXT
ILLUSTRATIONS
Not a pre writing tool
As an aide for their
readers…
As students create diagrams
to support their own texts,
they will be more likely to
pay attention to those that
appear in the texts they
read.

41. T1. Model how to
use the
organizers.
If students aren’t taught how to use graphic
organizers through teacher modeling and guided
practice, they won’t get much from them. So
take the extra step and model their use.
@TheTechProfe
42. T2. Avoid complete sentences.
Unless you have a very good reason to insist that students use complete
sentences on their organizers, don’t do it. Complete sentences take up too
much space, they take longer to write, and the effort to hold students
accountable misses the whole point of the organizer. Show students how to
use bullet points and sentence fragments to get ideas down and show how
they are related.
