When I taught middle school, my students called me the “king” of graphic organizers. It’s true that I love to use them. Here are some I have created or ones created by others that I have found useful. All are PDF files.

Created by Me:

1. Connecting GO – This is a reading comprehension graphic organizer that helps students make the three important connections of text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world.
