Flow Map

This week we are using Flow Maps in our instruction and then sharing our ideas. Be sure to included both ideas that worked along with ideas that didn't work as well. I believe we can all learn from both!

Tree Map

As of 8:42am on Monday March 26, our department is completely caught up on Thinking Maps. All that we need now is for you (and me) to describe ways we are using the thinking maps in class. This week's thinking map is the Tree Map. If you have any trouble remembering what this is PLEASE refer to the email I sent explaining it. Also look at the pictures I sent, they help out.

Double Bubble Map

Ok guys, so far we're doing a pretty good job on our blogs. An email was circulated recently among the administration and it showed our Eng dept was ahead of all other departments in terms of blog posts. This week's blog is about the Double Bubble Map.

If you have any questions about the Double Bubble Map, I sent out a pretty awesome email thoroughly explaining it. Remember, this is VERY similar to a Venn Diagram, and this kind of graphic organizer is important for them to understand because they're everywhere!

Keep up the good work, and, because I was a bit late with this blog, there will be another one at the beginning of next week!
