My first use of these thinking maps will be a combination of the…

We just finished up our 22nd day of school and for many of those 22 days I have used Thinking Maps to help the students share their thinking.

They are great to use with any topic. Students are encouraged to tell me what they know about the topic. Here are some of the maps we have made. We brainstormed the things we do in…
