Analytical and creative thinking can also be developed. Students may compare and contrast information, define the cause and effects of an event, improve their decision making. techniques. To read an interesting article about Graphic Organizers and find useful examples, resources and activities you may use in your classroom ,please read Steve Darn’s article.

Using graphic organisers as visual tools in language teaching is indeed a different way of seeing and thinking about information in a simple-to-understand manner. Critical,planning and creative thinking skills are developed.
The educational websites are really of great help on how to use graphic organisers effectively.
Excellent teaching aid!
