Step 10: Use Graphic Organisers Langkah 10 Gunakan Graphic Organiser

Graphic organizers are great visual tools and we can used them to start of our writing
to generate ideas first.  Everyone grew up with Concept Webs, Life Cycles, and  
Venn Diagrams. Here are some unique graphic organizers you might want to use..
choose the ones that will help you write essays, not those that will help you memorise
facts!!! (No 1, 2, 3,and 8 )
  1. Big Mac Paragraph Format - Great for paragraph writing. specific                                                       characters of a story.
  2. Elements Of The Story - This organizer focuses on understanding                                                                                              the tempo of a story.
  3. Lesson Forms Pack - Great help throughout the year!
  4. Lesson Planning Blocks - The perfect way to reduce the stress                                                                                                  of a teacher observation.
  5. Main Idea Map - Great to start a discussion.
  6. Multiple Intelligence Lesson Planning - Great for lesson check-ups.
  7. Quadruple Character Map - Kids love these.
  8. SQ3R Chart - Fantastic for understanding long passages.
  9. Theme Comparison - Great for comparing just about anything. 

Finally, we have to our last step. Have you started writing yet? No? Ha ha ha.....
well, sometimes I too, get writer's block.
But I am lucky, I have been blessed with a natural talent to write.  Once the pen is
in my hand, (or the keyboards are in touch with my fingerpads, or is it the other way
round, nvm!) I can just write off any piece.
As for you students or faithful readers, try to use my tips or 10 steps to start off.
Of course, my 10 steps are not the end, I can go on to 20 steps even, but for the t
ime being, 10 will do.
I will try to get my students' sample, after they have finished their exams which
starts today (26 July 2010) (Ujian Selaras or standardised tests for Lower 6).

Langkah yang ke 10 ialah menggunkan "graphic organizer" untuk menjanakan
idea untuk menulis.
