Graphic Organizer: Diversity

In the classroom, I would love to use a graphic organizer to help students remember and organize color terms. Color terms can be grouped based on similarity, such as warm and cool, or primary secondary, and tertiary, which would help them compare terms. I think this would be a useful way for students to see how the terms relate to one another. 

I found graphic organizing tools for easy to use and intuitive. I appreciated that students would not struggle with learning the tool so they could jump in and begin organizing their thoughts. I do believe that it may be helpful to lead students as they create a graphic organizer rather than expecting them to organize the information alone. 

To create my graphic organizer, I used clip art from http://www.mycutegraphics.com.
