Vocabulary Mapping

This strategy will aid students in expanding their vocabulary development using a simple mapping format.
  1. The students place the vocabulary word in the middle of a blank piece of paper.
  2. The students label each of the four corners of the paper with the following headings: definition, synonym, sentence, and picture.
  3. The students draw arrows radiating from the vocabulary word to each of the four headings.
  4. The students complete what is being asked for under each of the four headings in regards to the vocabulary word.
  5. The students share and discuss their vocabulary mappings with the class.
