Graphic organizers can be helpful as a visual aid when students are writing.
Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay
Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas
Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay
Spider maps are used to display the main concept or idea in a circle in the middle of the map and supporting ideas branch off from the main concept circle.
I hope your students/children enjoy this concept map by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a concept map.
The Spider Map is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.
Happy Writing!

Persuasive Writing Package (Opinion Writing)
By Shy's Sunshine Room
Description:
- This product is meant to provide scaffolding for students who are writing a Persuasive Essay. It has helped my students write almost twice as fast, now that they had very specific boundaries and structure. The Short-Writes helped my students realize just how varied and strong their opinions were. They created a stepping stone that set up the next step of brainstorming and writing their Introductions. The Introductions, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusions templates are easily stapled together as the writing process continues. When it comes to writing their Final Draft, this progression allows the students to do so with ample ease.
Includes:
4 Short-Write templates
- Topics covered: Things I Love, Things That Bug Me, Things That Should Change, and Things I Am Passionate About
Introduction, Body Paragraph, and Conclusion templates
- Body paragraphs contain space for 4 paragraphs
Instructions and suggestions
Possible resources
Examples
Everything included in this packet is featured in the thumbnails!
Time:
- I would suggest using these templates over a space of a few days. My class got through this in about a week with everything in this package. Now, we have our Final Draft to finish, so it might be a good plan to count on this entire process taking two weeks, depending on your students' ages.
Your feedback is appreciated!
