Creating and using concept maps tends to have a high positive impact on student achievement.* Concept maps (graphic organisers) help students to see how various pieces of knowledge relate to one another. It helps structure their thinking. ** Venn diagrams are one type of graphic organiser that illustrate similarities, differences, and relationships between concepts, ideas, categories, or groups. This is the fundamental goal of scaffolding – to create activities for students that help them pull on past knowledge to move into new knowledge – and to become more independent learners.
Here we use information from a class on clothes, mixed with weather and parts of the body. Through interaction and dialogue***, students will discover the connection between clothes, parts of the body and weather. In this way, learning will go deeper and be more meaningful for them in the long term.

*** You’ll see that we’ll need to give our students the academic language necessary to be able to talk about the concepts in the diagrams.
