Use the Affective Graphic Organizer to gauge the affective or emotional impact of factual knowledge. This organizer is most effectively used pre- and post-lesson. For example, before beginning a unit on the Vietnam War, give students a series of facts about the war to list on the right of the chart. At the bottom of the chart, ask students to record feelings, thoughts, or associations they develop based on the isolated facts. Then, compare and contrast the affective impact pre- and post- lesson. This graphic organizer also doubles as an advance organizer, indicating to students the learning that is expected to occur during the unit of study.
