Thinking Charts are Visual Patterns
• 80% of all information comes into our brain is
visual.
• Visualizing our thinking allow us to have a
concrete image of our abstract thoughts.
• Graphic organizers are popular because they
help students organize information visually.
• We believe that probably the best strategies
for teaching text structures are visual-spatial.

Chart
Thinking Charts are used by All TEACHERS
Because teachers at all levels are involved in
teaching cognition, all teachers can use the
same Thinking Charts.
As students move from grade level to grade
level, or from one teacher to another, many of
the variables of their education change.
Thinking Charts are used by All TEACHERS
• When every teacher uses the same Thinking
Charts, the tools students use for thinking
become a constant variable.
• Over time, students develop an independent
ownership of Thinking Charts.
• Thinking Charts give all students and teachers
a Common Language for meaningful learning.
Thinking Charts are used in combination for
Depth of Thought
Unlike isolated graphic organizers, Thinking
Charts are most effective when used in
combination to fully develop a concept of
theme. Analyzing an idea from multiple
thought processes helps students develop the
depth of thought necessary for making
meaning.
