Concept Mapping-Try it! 1. Review your content standards for a recent unit you taught in the last couple of months 2. Use nouns 3. Use Pre-planning web like the on the previous slide 4. What are the big ideas 4 -6 (not the steps, but what students needed to know, what they might come back years later and say, “ I’m glad I learned that. ”) 5. For each concept, brainstorm how you will know students “got” the concept.
