43. FREE-FORM MAPPING (Writing, Reading, Discussion, Feedback)
 
Description: Free-Form Mapping is a process by which students create meaningful representations of a particular reading/lesson through diagrams, pictures, words, and/or symbols.

Application: Especially effective for visual learners, use as a post-reading summation activity.
 
Process: Assign a reading or instruct students to take notes during a lesson.  After completion of that task, hand out blank paper and instruct students to individually create a free-form map by summarizing the key ideas via pictures, symbols, diagrams, etc.  Remind students to use very few words within the map. Place students into triads, instructing them to explain their map. In order to allow students to feel comfortable using the method, model the process numerous times before assessing students’ maps.
