In terms of knowledge representation, a Burger Diagram / Hamburger Diagram is a teaching and learning tool designed to facilitate the selection and organisation of several factors into a written report. In a typical Burger Diagram, five main sections are suggested: an introduction, three key factors, and a conclusion. It serves a similar function to a fishbone diagram, but is even simpler.
By limiting the essay to only three major factors, and providing only a small amount of space for each one to be explained, the Burger Diagram is a useful "scaffolding tool" for students learning to develop their essay-writing skills.
