This concept map can be used in at least three ways. First, you can use the map to preview what you will be reading in your unit of study; you can use it to look up information before you read. Or, you can use this concept map after you have read about the topic so that you can review the chapters that you have read. Third, you can use it as a study guide for a test.
For each topic that is circled, you should write down short descriptive phrases or words that are important facts about the topic. For example, on one of the lines attached to the Organizing and Classifying Life’s Diversity circle, you could write the words: binomial nomenclature (which refers to Linnaeus’s naming system that is still used today). By making short notes that are attached to each topic, you are “chunking” down the information and organizing it in a way that will make it easier to remember. Adding color to your concept map may also help you remember the information.
this doesn't even help so don't use it.
ReplyDeleteThis free graphic organizer worksheet was designed to be used with a Glencoe Biology textbook. Maybe you could design your own concept map that would work for you. What I find most helpful for me, when I am studying, is to outline the information that I am reading. You can put the bold titles in the form of questions and then write down the information that answers the questions as you read.
