When need to construct the concept mapping
What is a concept map? A concept map presents the relationships among a set of connected concepts and ideas. It is a tangible way to display how your mind "sees" a particular topic. By constructing a concept map, you reflect on what you know and what you don't know. In a Concept Map, the concepts, usually represented by single words enclosed in a rectangle (box), are connected to other concept boxes by arrows. A word or brief phrase, written by the arrow, defines the relationship between the connected concepts. Major concept boxes will have lines to and from several other concept boxes generating a network. There are many sites on the Internet that provide additional background on Concept Maps of which the following are a few.
Steps in Making a Concept Map
Write down major terms or concepts about a topic.
Identify the most general, intermediate, and specific concepts.
Begin drawing the concept map:
Concepts are circled
Place the most general concepts at the top
Place intermediate concepts below general concepts
Put specific concepts on bottom
Draw lines between related concepts.
Label the lines with linking words to indicate how the concepts are related.
To be effective maps need to be :-easy to modify -easy to add information and easy to modify handwritten .
For example different between animal and plaint.
