What a semantic map is
“Semantic mapping or semantic webbing, in literacy, is a method of teaching reading using graphical representations of concepts and the relationships between them.”

When to use a semantic map
New words
Put a word in the middle and group the words it brings to mind: kinds of weather, things we use.
Reading a book
Before reading, write down the words you might meet. Add more as you read.
Teaching
Build it with the class: children call out words and you put them in groups.
