Concept Map Assignment Part 1

You are to develop a simple concept map that illustrates some part of the content of your lesson. This concept map would be used as a visual aid to help your students understand the material that your lesson covers. You may use this technique to illustrate a process, explain the relationship between ideas or clarify the meaning of some terms.

This concept map will be part of your final project. An example concept map is given below:





Select a format that is appropriate to illustrate the concept that you are intending to teach. Save this file in your folder on the server when you are finished and print out a copy to submit for a grade.

You can find many examples of concept maps at http://classes.aces.uiuc.edu/ACES100/Mind/c-m2.html

Concept Map Assignment Part 2

 You are to develop a planning concept map that illustrates the structure of your proposed lesson. It will include the structure of the lesson including sub-objectives, proposed activities, proposed presentation methods and hot links to Web Based resources. The example that I shared in class is included below for your review.

As you develop your final project, you will add to this concept map. At this time, you are to complete as much of this concept map as you can. These maps will be reviewed and return to you, so that you can continue to improve them for inclusion in your final project.
