How to use this template

  1. What a concept map is made of

    Concept maps turn into word lists with unlabelled lines.

  2. Start with a focus question

    Build a concept map with a focus question and labelled links.

  3. List the concepts in a parking lot

    A focus question decides which concepts belong on the map. Every link needs a linking phrase that makes a sentence. A link that is hard to label shows where to revise. Read the map aloud and check each statement is true.
