1. Graphic organizers make organized writing accessible to all students.
2. Graphic organizers act as catalysts for students to research timely topics.
3. Graphic organizers train students to become critical readers by requiring them to select, discuss, and analyze key words, phrases, and lines.
4. Graphic organizers direct students’ attention to the stylistic devices, academic vocabulary, and craft features that they will be required use in their own pieces.
