Semantic Mapping Strategy A

چکیده
Masters, Mori, & Mori (1993) discuss the use of semantic mapping strategy. They define semantic mapping technique as being "used to motivate and involve students in the thinking, reading, and writing aspects. It enhances vocabulary development by helping students link new information with previous experience." The instructional sequence of semantic mapping is as follows: 1. Select a word central to the topic. 2. Display the target word. 3. Invite the student to generate as many words as possible that relate to the target word. 4. Have the student write the generated words in categories. 5. Have the student label categories. 6. From this list, construct a map. 7. Lead the class in a discussion that focuses on identifying meanings and uses of words, clarifying ideas, highlighting major conclusions, identifying key elements, expanding ideas, and summarizing information. (p. 118) From here examples of how to use selections in the Under the Sea unit in the development of the semantic mapping technique. http://www.k12.nf.ca/fatima/semmap.htm. 19-01-10.
