  2. I used a double bubble map to compare the short story, "The Lottery" to a section of The Hunger Games. The class read "The Lottery," then I read a portion of the Hunger Games to them, and we described similarities and differences between the two.

  3. I used a bubble map during "A Midsummer Night's Dream". One of the major themes of the play is about night, so students had to come up with different descriptions of night, how it is used in the play, etc.

  6. My English I students completed a Bubble Map describing Mercutio, a character who foils Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. (I could have used the Double Bubble Map to compare AND contrast those two characters.)

  8. Today my students used a bubble map to describe how a character felt during a pivitol point in the novel (Fahrenheit 451). After coming up with at least 8 adjectives, the used the bubble map to help them write a 10 line poem using one of 13 given first lines from published poems. The poems were written from the character's perspective regarding the events of the story.

  9. Thank you all for trying the maps and posting to the site. It looks as if this map fits well with ELA.

  10. My French I students have been talking about family members. I asked the students to describe one of their family members and told them that they could use a bubble map to gather their thoughts on their chosesn family member.

  11. This week we created a Double Bubble Map to compare and contrast the unique characteristics of the Past Tense in Spanish (Preterit vs. Imperfect). Students identified and gathered specific clues for each tense. They can refer to this map when reporting an event in the past.

  12. I used the double bubble map this week as we continued our study of Macbeth. Students did better with this one as we compared and contrasted characters from the play.

  13. My student teacher used Bubble map to have the class describe characters from "Of Mice and Men." The students divided into groups and each group was given a character. The character was put into the middle circle, and the students were responsible for coming up with at least 5 adjectives to describe that character. When the time was up, the groups picked a representative to share the work on the ProBoard. The activity was a tremendous success.
