2. Design the graphic organizers around the informational text and strategy.

3. Include a summary of 1-2 paragraphs for each graphic organizer explaining how you would use this in a comprehension lesson.

4. Include your rationale. Specify the potential benefits of using each graphic organizer and how it will support assessment of knowledge.

Use the GCU Library to research 3-5 peer-reviewed articles in support of your content.
