Creating a Graphic Organizer/Thought Web
Sometimes when we read information, we need to sort and/or organize it to fully absorb the content. Graphic organizers allow this sorting and organizing to occur. There are many different types of graphic organizers/thought webs, and the creator must choose a form that best serves the purpose.
Step 1: Review the 2.4 Graphic Organizer Rubric to
see how your work will be assessed.
Step 2: Read
"We Must Have Dreams," written by John Amagoalik, on pages 318-320 in
Sightlines
10. Please read this slowly and carefully, so that you fully absorb the meaning of the text.
Step 3: Use paragraphs 3 and 4 of the speech, that begins with "We must teach....", to create a digital graphic organizer that shows the cultural attributes that John
Amagoalik believes must be taught or done if the Inuit culture is to survive within the Inuit children of today.
- Choose a graphic organizer style that will best serve your purpose to complete the given task. If you need possible examples of how to create your graphic organizer, view this Graphic Organizer Video.
- Create a center graphic organizer space to give your organizer topic, and title it "Necessary Attributes to Teach to Preserve the Inuit Culture."
- Create six graphic organizer spaces surrounding your center space, where you will choose and include a quote for six teachings or things needing to be done that the text creator expresses as being necessary if the Inuit culture is
to be preserved. These information quotes need to be physically linked with lines/arrows to visually show they are connected.
- Beneath each quote, choose an appropriate cultural trait from this cultural trait list that
you feel best fits the quote.
Step 4: Create a relevant and significant theme statement for this text, and position it below your graphic organizer. Hint: What are the goals of the text creator/writer,
and how does he feel these goals can be reached?
