Great list of tools to create/find graphics

Great resource from Annette Lamb on using graphic resources for differentation.  Includes many useful links and ideas.

Use these graphic organizers to help students understand the different text structures for expository writing. (through LC via Amy Lorch)

This two-page PDF provides a resource for the different text structures for expository writing. It includes definition, signal worlds, graphic organizers, summary questions and paragraph frames for each text structure.

Great tool that will create a graphic organizer for an essay; students simply type in different parts.

Teachthought describes this as "While the site is simple a crudely interactive graphic with links to videos, it has, in one fell swoop, creatively curated some of the most compelling and engaging "problems" in mathematics. From Benford's Law to French Numbers, to whether or not zero is an even number, it frames the content area of math-which is often riddled with rote practice of very traditional arithmetic and formulas-in a problem-based learning kind of approach. Fantastic resource for bell ringers, test questions, math project-based learning ideas, or as a model for students to curate their own curiosities about the incredible-and poorly marketed-world of mathematics."

Standards for each grade in math. Nice graphic

This 57-page PDF is a scholarly study which reviews the literature on text organization and how it affects reading comprehension. One item discussed is the use of graphic organizers in helping students of different abilities better understand reading material. (Rec by Amy Lorch via LC)

Scholastics reading report released January, 2015. Includes some interesting graphics. (realizing they want to sell more books)
