Instructional Ideas

  • Make the link available to individuals or small groups when conducting research in a computer lab
  • Model concept mapping by projecting the worksheet onto the board and filling in the spaces during a class reading assignment

Classroom Considerations

  • One topic branches into six subtopics, which branch into sixteen additional topics; learners may need to modify this format for their needs

Pros

  • Not specific to any specific subject, making the resource ideal for any class setting
  • There is no character limit in each box, so learners can add lengthy quotations if needed

Cons

  • None
