Focus Questions:
- The speaker states that graphic organizers can be created using paper and pencil or software. Which method of creating your own graphic organizer would you use? Why? (If you want to see types of software, view the two videos beneath this video).
I would like to prefer the software method. The one method that is available in the software form is graphic organizers by Microsoft Word. That is very useful.
