For my Unit Lesson Plan, I am thinking about doing a unit over writing in elementary school. There are lots of uses for thinking maps when it comes to writing. It's a great way to help students brainstorm, organize thoughts, and map out what they are going to write. Here are some examples of thinking maps.
Thank you for posting some good examples of thinking maps being used. I found this very helpful. My favorite thinking maps are the bridge map and the tree map. I liked how both of these were used in your examples. I liked that the bubble map was used for kindergarten students in this example; as these are the easiest maps to use, especially if you are just starting out using thinking maps. However, I really like the idea of presenting a variety of thinking maps to students; so they don't get burnt out on one type or bored. I think different thinking maps can be more proficient for different types of projects or writing assignments. Thank you for giving good examples of the various types.
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteThese are great examples of different ways to use thinking maps as I work on my lesson plans I wonder which will work better with kindergarten and first grade as I plan to use the thinking maps. I love the thought of using these in maps in a math lesson and making it fun.
