Synopsis Concept maps or idea maps or graphic organisers can help students organise information and ideas related to a given topic. The goal in using graphic organisers is to organise ideas and examine relationships. This book discusses the use of such graphic organisers as structured overviews, Venn diagrams, story maps, and character analysis charts to help teachers develop analysis, synthesis and evaluation as critical thinking skills and take little time for preparation. This resource book is intended for teachers, parents, learners/students—both typical children in the regular classrooms and special children as it contains practical suggestions for promoting learning.
