Thinking Skill: What is a T-Chart?

T-Chart is a graphic organizer that examines two facets of a topic, like the pros and cons associated with it, its advantages and disadvantages, facts vs. opinions, etc. By listing the topics as headings for the 2 columns, and writing down several facets that are valid for both options, it’s easy to make a comparison. In one form, it can be a list of positive and negative attributes surrounding a particular choice that ensures that both the positive and negative aspects of each direction or decision will be taken into account. Once you complete the overview, you will see you can come up with a solution to your problem. And this is important to make the final decision.
