Circle Map and Flow Map Writing Template
- Word Document File
Description
Does your school use Write from the Beginning? Use these templates to get your students started! Each week I introduce a new writing prompt and use these graphic organizers to help students brainstorm and organize their ideas.
To use the circle map, students write their topic in the middle. Then, they brainstorm everything related to that topic they want to write about. To use the flow map, students choose 3 ideas about their topic and write them in the middle boxes. Underneath each box, students add details to explain each idea more. Then, students pick transition words to go on top of each box. Last, students write an opening and closing sentences. After students complete both the circle map and flow map, they use these to write a draft of their writing.
Enjoy! :)
