We worked on pro/con lists for graphic organizers in class today. I think that students were really interested in the fact that they didn’t have to use the same graphic organizer all the time, and that different ones might be better for different uses. I like that thought; I find graphic organizers to be cumbersome, but I know that other people need them, especially those who need to organize their writing.
