3-D Concept Map

To make a 3-D Concept Map, students should:

  1. pick a big topic, such as "rocks".
  2. write the topic in large letters on a card.
  3. write "subtopics" on other cards to hang off the big topic card with string or yarn.
  4. ask students to illustrate the subtopics.
  5. hang the mobiles up around the classroom.
