Use the diagram below or create
your own format
to learn difficult vocabulary, or to
get a better understanding of a word
Items include:
- vocabulary word
(e.g.:
"cow")
- definition/brief
description
(e.g.: "a domestic mammal, or
the mature female of cattle of the
genus Bos)
- Properties or
characteristics or attributes that
would help you recognize it:
(Usually 4-5 feet tall; various
colors--white, brown, reddish,
black; found on farms; raised for
its milk or meat; may have horns;
feeds on grasses)
- Examples that
would be recognized as one of that
"group"
(Guernsey, brown and white breed
from the island of Guernsey raised
for milk;
Angus, black hornless breed from
Scotland raised for meat;
Holstein, black and white breed
from Germany/Holland raised for
milk)
This exercise is
similar to developing a concept
map;
thanks to John Martin for this
suggestion...
