specific concept
Even more specific
specific concept

Cross linkages
How Concept Maps Function
1.Promotes meaningful learning2.Provides an additional resource for
learning3.Enables provision of feedback to
students4.Allows for assessment of learning and
performance
GROUP ACTIVITY
•Within your groups at your tables develop a concept map that addresses this question:
•What is a SANDWICH?
