Topic for week of April
30, 2012:
Use of Bridge Maps – Bridge maps assist students with
understanding relationships and analogies. How have you used a bridge map
to show relationships or analogies in your teaching this week? What was
the first pair and the second pair? What was the relating factor?
Did the relating factor assist students with the understanding of the
pairs? Did the student's Frame of Reference help guide the map?
Going a bit further – Give analogies to students in a
variety of ways: give them a pair of words and ask for the relating factor;
give a relating factor and ask for a pair of words that fits the relationship;
give students the top of one relationship and the bottom of the other pair and
ask them to try to complete the bridge map.
