Boosting Vocab with Word Maps

 

Semantic maps (or graphic organizers) are maps or webs of words. Maps can visually display the meaning-based connections between a word or phrase and a set of related words or concepts. Semantic maps help students — especially struggling students and those with disabilities — to identify, understand and recall the meaning of words they read in the text. Get the step-by-step on using semantic maps, how to integrate technology into the strategy, and a sample lesson.  http://www.ldonline.org/article/Connecting_Word_Meanings_Through_Semantic_Mapping
