Graphic organizer

Hey kiddo! Do you know sometimes when we have to read a long story or an article for school or even for fun, it can be a little hard to keep everything organized in our head? That's where a graphic organizer can help us out!

A graphic organizer is a special kind of tool that helps us to visualize and structure our thoughts and ideas. It helps us to see important information in a clear and organized way, so we can understand it better.

Think of it like a map or a blueprint that shows us exactly how to get from one point to another. It can come in many different shapes and sizes, but most of them have similar parts that help us to organize our thoughts.

For example, if we have to read a story, we could use a graphic organizer called a story map. A story map has spaces where we can write down important information like the characters, setting, problem or conflict, and solution or resolution.

Another example is a Venn diagram. A Venn diagram has circles that overlap in the middle. We can use this kind of graphic organizer to compare and contrast two different things, like two books or two animals. The things they have in common would go in the middle, and the things that are different would go on the outside.

Overall, graphic organizers help us to learn and understand things better by organizing information in a clear and easy-to-read way.
