  3. Mapping for Myself • identify key concepts & relationships • weed out peripheral information • re-sequence instruction

  4. Mapping with Students If you really want students to learn how to make concept maps … then you have to be willing to take the time to teach them how.

  5. Map 1:Links asDefinitions

  6. Map 1: Definitions as Concepts

  7. Map 1: Dependent Links Can you spot the misconception?

  8. Map 1: Nicely Done!

  9. Map 2: Finding Symmetry Can you spot the missed concept?

  10. Map 2: Finding Multiple Links Can you spot the SAME missed concept?

  11. Teaching Mapping • start small and familiar • provide feedback & samples • have students share & combine maps • provide opportunities for revisiting maps • contrast maps with other reading comprehension techniques • have clear teaching & learning goals • have clear expectations (rubrics)

  12. Concept Map Rubric MEETS STANDARDS: • Maps meet the standards in reading (comprehending vocabulary) and higher order thinking skills (applying & analyzing knowledge) when: • all required concepts are present. • all concepts are linked to at least one other concept. • all links have labels that make nontrivial, valid connections between concepts.

  13. Concept Map Rubric - cont’d. EXCEEDS STANDARDS: • Maps exceed standards when they demonstrate use of the higher order thinking skill of synthesis. This can be shown as: • extra concepts that validly link given concepts to other topics. • extra links that show multiple valid connections between concepts. • a hierarchy or symmetry of concepts.

  14. Concept Map Rubric - cont’d. PARTIALLY MEETS STANDARDS: Maps partially meet the standards when they show limited comprehension of vocabulary from context (reading) or limited demonstration of application or analysis (HOTS). • One concept is missing or unconnected OR 1-2 links are invalid/trivial. (B-) • One concept is missing/unconnected AND 1-2 links are invalid/trivial. (C)

  15. Concept Map Rubric - cont’d. DOES NOT MEET STANDARDS: Maps do not meet the standards when they show lack of comprehension of vocabulary from  context (reading) or demonstrates little/no evidence of application or analysis (HOTS) or lack of understanding of concept mapping. • More than one required concept is missing OR >2 links are invalid OR the links do not form coherent “concept-link-concept” sentences. (C-) • More than one required concept is missing AND >2 links are invalid. (D) • The links are not labeled.(F)
