In addition to outlining, another way to organize information for learning is to create a visual pattern that diagrams information, such as a map. Students can show how information in a paragraph or in a longer passage can be organized visually so that you immediately understand the relationships between the main idea, the major supporting details, and the minor supporting details. Recognizing main ideas and major and minor supporting details is an essential skill to master. In this exercise, students will practice organizing information by drawing maps, using Microsoft SmartArt.
