According to http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/graphic_organizers#.VaZ7dWAou6U, “Graphic organizers come in many varieties and have
been widely researched for their effectiveness in improving learning outcomes
for various students. The following five sections present a definition of
graphic organizers, a sampling of different types and their applications, a
discussion of the research evidence for their effectiveness, useful Web
resources, and a list of referenced research articles. We have focused this
