Use of Brace Maps –
Brace maps help to show the part of a whole. How have you utilized a
brace map in your classroom this week? What was your Whole Object?
How many "subparts" were your students able to describe?
How many breakdowns were your students able to break down the Whole
Object – more than 2? Remember to utilize The Frame of Reference to help
understand how your students are coming to their conclusions.
Going a bit further –
Give your students the subparts to see if they can figure out the Whole or Main
Object. Also, you can take a Tree Map to give specific information about
each subpart of the Main Object.
Please post your blog

Hi, EHS Social Studies Crew! I applaud you on your use of Thinking Maps in your subject area. I have enjoyed reading your impressive ideas. If you saw the Golden Apple segment on WYFF this week, you noticed that the teacher was using a Circle Map to brainstorm actions associated with World War II. Keep your great ideas coming as you lead your students to see how these maps can become their tools for learning! Linda
ReplyDeleteI did a Brace Map with my students using Mao's Great Leap Forward Plan in Communist China.
