GO’s to go!
Graphic Organizers are instructional tools that are flexible and endless in application.

Common Traits of GO’s
They show the order and completeness of a student’s thought process.
Strengths and weaknesses of understanding become clearly evident.

Many GO’s show different aspects of an issue/problem--in close and also in the big picture.
Since many GO’s use short words or phrases, they are ideal for many types of learners, including ECE and ESL with intermediate proficiency.
