1. Graphic Organisers
Graphic Organisers provide a visual method of ordering and summarising
information. They help the student to organise disjointed information in a
structured way. They facilitate generation and development of ideas, expedite the
construction of knowledge and aid the learning process. They provide active
involvement to engage the kinaesthetic learner.
They work best when used by small groups (pairs and triads). They are
particularly powerful when groups are structured so that
(i) each member has a leadership role/function e.g. Recorder,
Researcher, Timekeeper, Clarifier, Turntaker (ensuring all group
members participate), Summariser, Reporter.
(ii) resources are shared in the group i.e. one worksheet per group.
They provide a high quality teaching and learning methodology for the mixed
ability classroom i.e. students with diverse abilities can work together where each
student can make a real contribution to the overall learning of the group.
They accommodate the needs of students with differing learning styles and
intelligences.
2. Using Graphic Organisers

learning process:
• Pre-teaching a topic
