GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
LESSON 4
OUTLINING
BRAINSTORMING
a group creativity technique by which
efforts are made to find a
conclusion for a specific problem by
gathering a list of ideas spontaneously
contributed by its members.
GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
Visual representations of concepts that
help us structure information into
organizational patterns.
KINDS OF GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
• VENN DIAGRAM
• NETWORK TREE
• SPIDER MAP
• PROBLEM-SOLUTION MAP
• TIMELINE
• PLOT DIAGRAM
• CYCLE
VENN DIAGRAM
Use to compare ideas and events
and show similar and different
attributes using two or more
overlapping circles
VENN DIAGRAM
*Eats a lot *Eats a little
*Happy
*Grows large puppy *Stays small
*Calm/relaxed *Doesn’t *Energetic/excited
bark a lot
*Medium *Very little
shedding shedding
GREAT DANE POODLE
NETWORK TREE
Used to represent hierarchy,
classification, and branching or
showing relationships of scientific
categories, family trees, and even
lineages
NETWORK TREE
SPIDER MAP
Used to investigate and enumerate
various aspects of a central idea,
which could be a concept, topic, or
theme; also known as semantic map
SPIDER MAP
PROBLEM-SOLUTION MAP
Displays the nature of the problem
and how it can be solved
PROBLEM-SOLUTION MAP
DEFINITION
PROBLEM CAUSES SOLUTION
EFFECTS
TIMELINE
Use to show how events occurred
chronologically through a long bar
labeled with dates and specific
events: linear and comparative
TIMELINE - LINEAR
Shows how events happened within
one period
TIMELINE - LINEAR
Shows how events happened within
one period
TIMELINE - COMPARATIVE
Shows two sets of events that
happened within the same period
TIMELINE - COMPARATIVE
PLOT DIAGRAM
Used to map events in the story
and/or analyze major parts of a plot
PLOT DIAGRAM
CYCLE
Describes how a series of events
interact to produce a set of results
repeatedly
CYCLE
BENEFITS OF USING GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
• Helps visualize or present information in a
way that is easier to comprehend
• Develops cognitive skills such as
brainstorming, categorizing and prioritizing
content, reflection, etc.
• Helps recall prior knowledge and quickly
connects it to new information
OUTLINE
Planning for writing or creating
summary that gives the
essential features of a text
OUTLINE
Shows how the parts of a text
are related to one another as
parts that are equal
importance, or sections that
are subordinate to a main idea

SUBORDINATION placed under their respective major
details
DIVISION Requires that no cluster should contain
only one item
PARALLEL Requires all entries in each cluster to use
