Research in many subject areas shows that using graphic organisers, or writing frames as they are sometimes known, leads to improved student performance on assessments and enhanced critical thinking skills. Such tools help pupils think about their thinking and think about their learning . and layout ideas in a way to show what they know. Organising visually is a way to process, analyse and synthesise ideas so as to understand them more deeply. Pupils who plan and write with graphic organisers generate more ideas, recall and analyse data, recognise relationships between concepts and relate new ideas to previous knowledge and real life. Graphic Organisers for Writing contains 60 graphic organisers for writing fiction and non-fiction and integrating explicit elements of good writing. The organisers can be used to produce excellent writing.
