Rather than the typical 4 CORNERS Graphic organizer (see picture below), let's "kick it up a notch" and add some technology to the mix.
I discovered this wonderful visual graphic organizer called Visuword! Finally a site that does some of the hard work for us teachers, without spending half our conference period running copies! (smile)
