Part 1 – Graphic Organizer
Reasons for your Choice:
When I was a student in school, personally this was my favorite organizer to use. It is
simple and straight to the point also it makes it easier to plot down one’s thoughts an
understanding. And with such a simple topic with endless answers it makes it easer for the
students to just address the assignment as well.
Explanation:
I would put my classroom in groups of 4 and give each group one of those large post
stickies, and as a group hey need to address the questions but as a team work together and create
a spider web organizer giving them each the opportunity to jot down what they are brain
storming. Every member of the group needs to participate I want them to write and even draw
out their ideas. And in the end each group will speak aloud to the class what their team had
written and there thought process.

Part 2 – Notetaking
EDUC 221
“As you can see with disorganized notes it’s a bit harder to tell what is going to what but
with the split organization it creates that neatness to not only make it easier to make out what
you’re writing but when studying as well.”
Comparison
With disorganized notes you’re just writing what you’re hearing or seeing but by the end
of the class your just left with a paper with just a bunch of words. Rather than organized notes
since you’re writing them in a format that makes it easier to understand your also comprehending
what you are writing.
Explanation
Honestly, I would write an example of each set of notes on either large post its or on the
board to give them that visual aid of then difference between the two.
Advantages
The advantage of split model is that it is good for any subject, and with that it makes it
easier to study the notes or go back to reference. Even color coding it can n make it even more
organized!
