Graphic Organizers

It seems as if graphic organizers are all I've been hearing about lately! While I never used them as a student, I have seen many students in my observation school depend on them to compose essays and reports. Here is a link to a site that offers free templates and ideas on graphic organizers. Have a look! I found this through the Read-Write-Think website....Sofia R.
