WORKSHEET 02: Advance Organizers

A. Look at the information shown by the image below. What message does the title and the
details want to convey? How did you read the details provided? Will it still make sense
if you read it on a different way? How/why?

Answers:

Illustration A
B. The picture above is an example of an infographic. Like advance organizers, infographics are
non-linear illustrations that provide overview of a material or thought process. They may be
presented in the beginning, during, and after a lesson (as assessment).

These visuals also make complex reading materials easier to understand.

Watch the following videos:

Graphic Organizers 01, Advanced Organizers 02, Advanced Organizers 03, and Infographics 04

After watching, fill-out the T-chart below with the appropriate information you learned
from the videos. Remember: T-chart is an example of a graphic organizer.

C. Read the article "What's Your Poop Telling You? and find out how this text is
transformed into an illustration.

Based on what you’ve read, create your own illustration, graphic organizer, or
infographic based on the information presented in the reading text.

Illustrate your concept in the box below.

D. Read the text below to complete the task that follows.

The human body is the human body is made up of 65% water and an average of eight to
10 cups is needed to replenish our bodies each day. The amount of water a person needs
depends largely on the volume of urine and sweat lost daily. The need for water increases if a
person suffers from diarrhea, vomiting or undergoes physical exercise. Water lost should be
replenished by drinking liquids that do not contain caffeine or alcohol; both of which increase the
output of urine and thus, dehydrate the body. Some types of food are also a good source of
water. Fruits and vegetables consist of 80 to 95% water, while meat is up to 50%. In addition,
grains such as oats and rice can contain as much as 35% water. A person can survive only eight
to 10 days without water, whereas it takes weeks to die from lack of food. Water circulates
through our blood and lymphatic system, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing
waste through urine and sweat. Water also maintains the natural balance between dissolved
salts and water in cells. Our joints and soft tissues depend on the cushioning effect that water
provides. Although water has no caloric value and is not considered an energy source, it is vital
in our diet to help digest and absorb food.

Based on the information from the text, complete the graphic organizer below.
