Points to note |
- This section is a deliberate attempt to direct pupils' thinking back to the original key question. Concept maps are a useful way for the pupils to reveal their understanding of the topic at a deeper level than simply the recall of information or comprehension. According to which concepts the pupils select, where they locate them in relation to one another and how they make links and labelled connections between them all, much is revealed - in diagrammatic format - about their respective levels of understanding. Concept maps represent a useful tool for assessment. Such a task may be an effective homework.
- ICT: the concept maps could be produced using ICT, to enable pupils to make adjustments and prioritise factors.
