Printable Graphic Organizers General Graphic Organizers Worksheets Learning organization techniques should not be a chore, but rather a process that everyone should grasp, understand, and implement into their lives. For example, if you're someone who is unorganized when it comes to bills, more than likely you have a hard time getting them paid by the due date. Another example might be with school work. If you're a student and you don't have an organization structure in place for taking and storing notes, then chances are you don't do very well with taking tests. Organization is truly a skill. Being well organized will help students and teachers both be productive in and out of the classroom.

OperaGlass: Opera for Everyone This site enables opera companies and educators to access and download FREE digital versions of the Opera for Everyone series of CDs and the Teaching Manual for teaching purposes. Our objective is to have these materials used to introduce everyone to opera -- the remarkable combination of music, drama, dance and the visual arts. Opera for Everyone provides an excellent opportunity for students and educators alike to become familiar with the background and music of four classic operas -- each related to a different important period of opera: Rossini's The Barber of Seville (1816); Verdi's La Traviata (1853); Bizet's Carmen (1875); and Puccini's Madama Butterfly (1904). Each CD tells the story in two ways, first with words and then with music. Ira Ross begins each CD with an introduction to the opera and to the overture. He then describes the action of the first major episode and suggests what to listen for in the related music. Follow These Steps to Participate in the Program

Many graphic organizers show different aspects of an issue/problem - in close and also the big picture.

September 2007 So it's Monday and I'm just doing my weekend reflection. I figure I can get away with it since so many cool things went on during the week! Last Sunday, we were invited, last minute, to enjoy lunch with a couple of families from church. We had such a wonderful time with them that we didn't get home until 5pm! The meal was so yummy and the fellowship was just what we needed! The next couple of days were pretty normal. Wednesday, my bestest friend Jenny came over for the afternoon. I went to the dentist this week only to find out that he has to do something to fix my popping jaws. Thursday, Caroline and I went to have lunch with a sweet lady from church. Saturday was full of SEC football, including our beloved Vols being killed by the Gators. Saturday evening, hubby and I headed off to Rhythm & Roots. It was a nice week.
