Great tip for desining a lesson

Steps of drawing concept maps:

1. List all concepts
2. Put most abstract concepts on top
3. Place all specific concepts at bottom
4. Link them using verbs
5. The more links the better

Some more notes about concept maps:

• Each concept is a noun or adjective
• Each connector is a verb
• More general concepts are arranged on the top of the page (so we have a top down or TD arrangement for graphing)
• Highly specific terms are placed in the bottom ## Software for concept mapping:
• Paper pencil (most convenient)
• cmaptools, free and excellent tools
• freemind (mind mapping as well but you can use for concept mapping) See a large list here

where you create mental models by linking various pieces of information together. A concept map or a mind map is useful. See also this annotation
