Main Idea Graphic Organizer Printable

The following post is from Demetria of Christian Homeschool Moms:

Writing hasn’t been a favorite subject for one of my kids, so I have to dig up ways to make writing fun for her.  My daughter is highly visual, so this main idea graphic organizer might be just the tool to help her get her thoughts flowing.  Plus, the cute graphics always perk her interest.

One of the things I always appreciated about writing is creating a logical progression of thoughts, and what better way to do this (for a visual person like myself) than to use visual cues, like on this main idea graphic organizer.

I’m excited to share this main idea graphic organizer with you.  Featured on it is a space for your student to write out the main idea of the topic she wishes to write about, along with three “clouds” of supportive details.

Note:This download is free for personal or classroom use. It cannot be sold, published, or hosted on other websites. If you want to pass along the printable though, please feel free to share a link to this post (not directly to the printable) with others. Thanks!  (Please read the full terms of use before using it for anything other than family or classroom use.)
