graphic-organizer

name	graphic-organizer
description	Select and scaffold ONE graphic organizer (Frayer model, T-chart, Venn diagram, concept map, etc.) for a given activity or objective. Use this atom when lesson-planner needs a visual thinking tool. Do NOT use for generating the content that fills the organizer.

graphic-organizer

Picks the most appropriate graphic organizer type for a learning task, provides the template structure, labels, and teacher directions for use. Does not fill in content — that is the student's job.

Input

{
  "objective": "Students will compare and contrast two ecosystems.",
  "grade": "4",
  "subject": "Science",
  "organizer_type": null
}

Output

{
  "tool": "graphic-organizer",
  "organizer": {
    "type": "venn_diagram",
    "why_chosen": "Compare/contrast task maps directly to Venn diagram structure",
    "labels": {"left": "Desert Ecosystem", "right": "Rainforest Ecosystem", "overlap": "Both"},
    "teacher_directions": "Have students list 3-4 characteristics in each section. Guide them to notice overlap in basic needs (water, sunlight, nutrients) despite different amounts.",
    "scaffolding_prompts": ["What does each ecosystem need to survive?", "How do the amounts differ?"]
  },
  "human_review_required": true
}

Do NOT use this atom for

• Filling in the organizer content (students do that)
• Creating full lesson activities (use atom-activity-generate)
• Digital/interactive organizer rendering

Pipeline note

Follows references/method.md at the Generation step (organizer selection). Output conforms to references/metadata-schema.md. human_review_required: true — organizer choice depends on classroom context; teacher should adapt.
