We completed the mind maps in both 9th grade classes today. All in all I'd say it went well. Of course the first class provided the learning platform for me so I could better outline what to do with the second class, but I don't think the learning of the first class suffered any. It works really well in order to get kids to think of concepts in terms of connections, and to organize or group related terms.
I'll be doing it again Monday, but this time as an introduction to a unit in order to get them to access prior knowledge. I'll post back and report on how that went.
I haven't forgotten... I'll post some pics of completed ones later next week.
