Sample Concept Map of “Concept Maps”
Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge. They include concepts, usually enclosed in circles
or boxes of some type, and relationships between concepts indicated by a connecting line linking two concepts. Words on the line,
referred to as linking words or linking phrases, specify the relationship between the two concepts.
