June 13, 2017 Tuesday, my teacher in English 8, Ms. Angelique B. Castillo,taught us how to use Graphic organizers. She said that Graphic organizers are important because we can use it in reporting. It uses symbols to express knowledge, concepts, thoughts, or ideas. She said that there are a lot of types of graphic organizers but she only gave three examples.
First is concept map. A concept map help students like us to represent knowledge of a subject. How to use it? Simply write the main idea at the center and then branch out to show how the main idea can be broken down into specific topics.

Janitor fish is considered as pest because it bore holes in Marikina river causing turbidity and erosion. Mr. Raymond Joseph S.
