Note Taking and Summarizing Graphic Organizer
, Not Grade Specific,
Note Taking and Summarizing Graphic Organizer divides one page into Notes, Pictures, and Summary sections. Learners can capture key information in words, represent important ideas visually, and then condense the combined material in the summary space. The labelled sequence makes the relationship between gathering information and synthesizing it visible without prescribing a particular text or subject. Each area remains open enough to accommodate different amounts of written and visual information.
