Abc graphic organizer not just for elementary

Nov. 23, 2011 I found this cool graphic organizer on the Internet, altered it and I am excited about trying it out tomorrow. For this organizer the idea is that the students fill out each box using the letter to stretch their thinking, as what they put in the box must start with the same letter. I think it would be great for brainstorming and would really encourage the student to think about the topic in a very deep way in order to complete this sheet. I am using it to guide the student's viewing of a movie, where the students will be looking for ways that humans are impacting the Earth in either a positive or negative way. Not only will this organizer engage the students in paying full attention to the documentary movie, but it will guide our post discussions on Friday. I will try to post the file here. I would love to here how you might use this organizer in your classroom.
