Organizing our thoughts and ideas using Thinking Maps
Thinking maps will be implemented to help the children organize their thinking and thoughts into structured organizers. They should be able to use their maps to then write an organized essay or writing piece.
They will learn to use different types of thinking maps for different purposes. We hope that these maps will support the students in becoming more creative, structured, and proficient writers.
