Webs
Webs are visual maps that show how different categories of
information relate to one another. Webs provide structure for ideas and facts
and give students a flexible framework for organising and prioritising
information.
Typically, major topics or central concepts are at the center of the web. Links
from the center connect supporting details or ideas with the core concept or
topic.
Teachers and students alike use webs to brainstorm, organise
information for writing (prewriting), as well as to analyse stories and
characterisation.
Classroom teachers tell us that webbing is an effective technique to use in
small group settings. As students work cooperatively they can build
collaborative webs, incorporating the thoughts and contributions of each group
member.
Explore the different ways to use webs:
Literary webs help students analyse stories or novels so that
they more fully understand the literary elements at play, as well as the
composition of the story.
Character webs represent one of the ways in which visual
learning can support reading comprehension.
Comparison is one of the most basic and powerful forms of
analysis in any discipline.
Prewriting describes the brainstorming and organising students
do before writing a story.
