key idea

A graphic organizer is a chart or picture that shows how ideas, facts, or topics are related to one another.

When you read, look for graphic organizers included in the text. You can use these images to find key information. You can also create your own graphic organizers with information that you've read. Doing this can help you think about the ideas in the text and easily review them.

When you write, you can use graphic organizers to organize your thoughts and plan your writing.

solution

In a Venn diagram, each circle shows information that is true for a particular topic. In any area where circles overlap, the information is true for all of the overlapping topics. This Venn diagram compares the main characters of two popular survival novels.

The detail helped by Attean and Saknis is in the Matt from The Sign of the Beaver circle. The detail alone the whole time is in the Brian from Hatchet circle. This tells you that only Matt encounters other people during his adventure.
