Flow MapThe flow map is used for sequencing and ordering information. Students can use it to identify the relationships between stages and substages of an event (or order or numbers, operations, steps, etc.) They can be used to explain the order of events. The following site has examples of flow maps used in different subjects.
The flow map is created with large rectangles. The substages are in smaller rectangles below the
larger ones. The flow maps vary and not all flow maps have substages.
This map can be used to plot a story, show historical events in sequences, steps in problem solving math, identify stages of a life cycle and much more. This map can be applied to all subject areas.
In our classroom we have used the flow map throughout the year and most recently we used it to sequence an ELD story "Come Along Daisy". Our flow map had the parts of a story; characters, setting, problem, solved problem. We also used the flow map in science to sequence planting lima beans.

I dont like writing
ReplyDeleteThank you, this information was helpful because I was'nt sure if I had to use substage boxes or not.
ReplyDeletethis will help me alot!
