In our school district we have been using Thinking Maps for the past 5 years. These Thinking Maps are used from K-12 to help our students organize their thought process for writing.
The Thinking Maps consists of eight maps to aid in the thought process. The Circle Map is used for defining in context; the Bubble Map, helps in describing with adjectives; the Flow Map, sequencing and ordering; the Brace Map, identifies part/whole relationships; the Tree Map, classifies/grouping; the Double Bubble Map, is for comparing and contrasting; the Multi-Flow Map, analyzing causes and effects; and the Bridge Map, seeing analogies. These maps are used for all subject areas in grades K-12.
