Concept Maps

A concept map can help you visually represent relationships between ideas, images, or words. They are a way to develop logical thinking and study skills by identifying connections and helping you see how individual ideas form a larger whole.

The concept map you draw can be simple or complex. Add as many layers as you need to help you learn about the concept.

Example

You’ve come across the word “anatomy” in your science textbook and are confused about what it means. First, you draw a box on a piece of paper and write the word “anatomy” in it. Next, you think about what you know about the concept. What does it mean? You see the word bolded in the text with the definition. Next: you write key identifiers or words in boxes or lines that can connect to your anatomy box. You write down “to cut apart” and “the study of structure” and continue to add more layers to help clarify the topic of anatomy.

Activity

To create a concept map, try these steps:

1. Identify a main topic or concept within your reading.
2. Draw a circle or box with the concept word in it.
3. Read through your text and identify main themes related to the concept.
4. Write down each theme and draw a circle or box around each one.
5. Think about the connections between the main topic and your themes and draw connecting lines to indicate relationships.
6. As you work with drawing connecting lines, try drawing arrows to show which ideas give rise to other ideas.
7. Identify additional support points, examples, and key terms to support each theme and draw connecting lines and arrows. Concept Maps and Evidence Narrative Assignment
