Help students organize their thinking, process content, and work cooperatively!

Graphic organizers are effective, research-validated tools for supporting student achievement, promoting students' higher-level thinking, and strengthening learners' visual and metacognitive skills.

In this combined update of The Cooperative Think Tank I and II, James Bellanca offers teachers a collection of 24 ready-to-use graphic organizers to enhance student learning across subject areas and grade levels. Presenting each graphic organizer in its own chapter, the author includes lessons for introducing these engaging learning tools to students and offers tips for maximizing their positive learning effects.

Revised with current research, new graphic organizers, and a streamlined format, this edition also provides guidelines for using graphic organizers to:

- Support cooperative learning groups
- Help students process content
- Effectively assess students' understanding of concepts

For novice teachers or seasoned veterans, Bellanca's extensive collection is the ideal guide to help you integrate graphic organizers into daily instruction.
