Free Graphic Organizer Funnel Your Ideas Brainstorm Graphic Organizer FREEBIE

This free Funnel Your Ideas Graphic Organizer helps students brainstorm and then narrow their thinking down to their own best idea for any assignment. Use it in writing, art, drama, group projects, science or social studies, any time you need kids to brainstorm.

Students record lots of ideas in words or drawings, then push those ideas through a visual funnel, squeezing them down until they land on the one idea they are going to use.
