Mapping Key Terms: Group Work
For this activity, I would like for each of you to find a map. This can be a geographic map, concept map, mind map, decision tree, flowchart, etc.
As a group, compare your maps so that you can compile a list of similarities and differences. Pay particular attention to:
|
- the content of the map: what does it represent?
- how is the content organized and presented?
- how are pieces of information connected?
- how are connections presented?
- how are shape and color used (or not used) in the map?
Based on this discussion, what characteristics does your group think a map should have in order to successfully convey information to readers?
