Using graphic organisers can make it easier for students to respond to texts.
With inquiry-based texts, they find key words and ideas are what we are really wanting to use instead of focusing on lots of written text.
This enables a quicker flow of thinking, discussion and analysing of information toward synthesising of ideas.
It is also easier to go back over bullet pointed ideas or short text.
Having quirky ways of setting out the information also assists with making tasks like this more appealing for students to respond to.
