Concept Map Activity (5-7 Min)

Objective: Create a concept map to reinforce ideas and concepts of the

cartoon analysis process.
Concept mapping allows to visualize and chunk information to see
meaningful connections.
Materials Needed:
Large Post-It notes
Cartoons from Cartoon Analysis Worksheets
Activity:
Participants will create a concept map on a large Post-It (an example is
attached).
Participants will use the cartoon given to them to create a concept map
organizing ideas of purpose, bias, and any other ideas.
Participants should use the cartoon analysis worksheet to create the concept
map.
When concept maps are created, participants should hang their completed
work around the room.
Each group will elect a speaker to share the concept map- what were the
findings?
Teacher Role:
The teacher will facilitate the creation of the concept map by walking around
and answering questions and clarifying information.
During the discussion/presentation activity, the teacher will use the observer
notes (attached) as a formative assessment and to give feedback.
