Clustering and Mapping

Brief Description (in your own words):

This strategy is used to help students brainstorm, make connections, and help make visualize
meanings. Students can use either clustering or mapping when organizing information.
Clustering links ideas using a two dimensional map and mapping is more structured and used
mostly after the students have finished reading.
How you plan to use this strategy in your Practicum, Internship, Student Teaching, or in your
classroom:
I plan to use this strategy is my student teaching as a way for students to help visualize and
organize information about the different sports they learn in class. Mapping would be a good
strategy to use after finishing two or three units. Students will make a map and connect things
that are similar in the sports and compare it to the things that are different.
