Using a graphic organizer is a wonderful SDAIE strategy to help students connect and organize the key elements of a given lesson. This strategy is often helpful for English learners and other students who may benefit from a visual representation or organizational tool. The accompanying picture is of a graphic organizer my co-teacher and I issued to our students during the entire first unit. We had them fill it out periodically throughout the unit, and it seemed to have a very positive effect on student mastery regarding the development of democracy.
