Description

Describe it! Mind Map

Using a mind map such as this one helps to support a deeper and broader understanding of how words relate, how they are the same, and how they differ. This is also known as semantic feature analysis. Developing these connections between words is vital for vocabulary learning. It also develops language skills such as:

comparing
contrasting
using detailed descriptions
word retrieval.

Blank’s questions such as “how are the book and the newspaper the same?” can be supported by referring to the clear visual icons, working through features such as function, materials, size and category.
