When using graphic organizers, it is important to give students explicit instructions on how to use them.

Last week you shared an effective practice teachers are using that has a direct impact on student achievement. You researched an instructional strategy that has proven to work well, and shared it in the discussion forum. You presented the theory supporting it, how it is put into practice, and evidence of impact on students. Along with this, you prepared an explanation of its strengths for all learners. Your classmates gave you feedback on your work.
Now, you are to prepare a presentation that might be used in a school setting. Include all the information listed above, and make any changes you desire to make based on feedback from your peers. This presentation should be made in Panopto, Loom or as a PowerPoint video. Your presentation must be in video format where your instructor can see you. Be sure the settings on your video allows anyone with the link to view.
Here was the instructional strategy shared last week:
5.3 Effective Practices
One instructional strategy that has proven to be effective is graphic organizers. Graphic organizers are visual tools that can be used to help students organize information and ideas. There are many different types of graphic organizers, and they can be used for various purposes, such as to compare and contrast information, sequence information, or brainstorm ideas.
There is a great deal of research to support the use of graphic organizers. For example, a study by Vygotsky (2019) found that children who used graphic organizers to organize information were better able to recall and understand the information than those who did not use graphic organizers. Additionally, many studies have found that graphic organizers can improve students; reading comprehension.
There are many different ways to implement graphic organizers in the classroom. One way is to have students create their organizers. Another way is to provide students with pre-made organizers that they can fill in. Additionally, graphic organizers can be used as a whole-class activity, or they can be used in small groups or individually. When using graphic organizers, it is important to give students explicit instructions on how to use them. For example, you may want to model how to fill in a graphic organizer. You may also want to have students share their
organizers with a partner or the whole class.
Graphic organizers can be used with students of all ages and abilities. However, they may be especially beneficial for English language learners or students with learning disabilities, as they can provide a visual representation of information that can be difficult to understand in text form. There are many different types of graphic organizers. Some of the most popular include Venn diagrams, webs, T-charts, and concept maps
