When we help students discover tools and techniques for organizing the vast amount of information presented to them, they will be much better prepared to recall, retell, or make meaning from text. In this chapter, the authors examine brainstorm webs, graphic organizers, and concept maps. Teachers find that these visual tools promote classroom discussions and conversations in which students use words that reveal their thinking processes—always helpful information for teachers, particularly for formative assessment.
